Steve is the most common secular name that I know of for Shmuel (after Samuel, of course). Also, you could consider Scott, Sanford, Sheldon (though most Sheldon’s are Sholom or Shlomo), Shepard, etc. Personally, I love the name Shmuel. I never gave my kids secular names (hard for one of my kids who has a CH in the name), but I understand why some people prefer to have a secular legal name on the birth certificate.
