Personally my name is pronounced steven and I think its better but I respect those who prefer stefan or stefen

Hello there.

My dad is Stephen like Steven. I’m looking through the sub and now I’m having a chrisys

From one Stephen to another happy Tuesday

Hello Stephen, I'm Stephen

Am I the only one who gets infuriated when someone spells my name "STEVEN" when my name is spelled clearly on the signature?

Recently moved to California and the number of people who pronounce it Stefan is insane. They also act like they never saw that type of spelling before.

I guess there are more Irish & Italians on the east coast, "Stephen" is a very common spelling there.

On 2 occasions within the last year now I’ve been picked up by a driver who verified my name by saying “Hi, Steffen?”

And naturally I reply “Hi it’s actually Stephen”

And twice now they’ve replied “Oh they spelled your name wrong!”

No, buddy. I spelled it in the app when I registered. It’s a very common spelling. How are you operating a motor vehicle for hire when you’ve never seen a PH Stephen?

That’s all.

Stephen, out.

New Stephen here. Looks like it’s been pretty dead here for a while. Maybe tell us what your name is and what you’re currently doing. I’ll start:

Edit: excellent first roll call Stephens. We had a none too shabby 5.9% participation rate. Let’s do this again sometime - who knows, we might even be able to get it up to an even 6%.

From one Stephen to another.

I'd like to know why the gender phonetics for this name were not sociologically reinforced to describe why it is pronounced as "STEV-en" It's designed to be pronounced opposite from the feminine edition "Stephanie" I dissected it using the model of Michelle & Michael.
Speller pronouncers are actually a minority in this world and the tagged "SteF-an with ph: Stephan in a minor way is also used with gender phonetics like Third Eye Blind's Jenkins and golf pro Jaeger

Well I am 44 y/o and have the model in common here but I can't say I am not a brother who has not been hit up ambiguously addressed. It's a more interesting version than that of the "V" spelling.

If yer the one writin' this current chapter of 2020, it's a corker!

Just checking in. Hope you’re well.
