R‘ Steinman wrote in his will that he doesn’t recommend to name babies after him but also doesn’t forbid.
So do people do it? Have you met anyone who did?

Yes
They happen to be Belz.
I would do it if my father didn’t share a name.

Because you want to name after a tzadik and a big Rav.
Even if he says that he is not the tzadik he aspired to be, he is known for his modesty and was probably on a very high level and worth naming for.

Many people do know more but let's not get into that.
There was a lot to learn from him as there is from lots of people.

I have at least 20 neighbors called after him (Israeli yeshivish). I never heard that he asked not to.

Like what? Political stuff? I don’t think that is what he meant
The wording is different

If he didn't want it, why would someone disregard his wishes? That doesn't sound very respectful.

Belz also has a Rebbe named Aharon. Are you sure they named after R Shteinman?

Yes, lots of little boys called Aharon Leib.
I asked my husband and he'd never heard not to. (We already have an Aharon so not relevant personally.)
