It's Stephen.....not Stefan
Seriously, does anyone born in the USA understand that spelling Stephen with a ph does not mean you are called Stefan......for a country that has about 12 million different forms of Christianity you would have thought they might have heard about 'Saint Stephen' not 'Saint Steven' .....now say my name properly you dumb yank! :thumbsup:

Also I believe Stephen Hawking had his name pronounced "Steven".
Therefore you are outnumbered.:rofl: |

You are wrong on both. It is pronounced "Steven" since that is the way Stephen Colbert pronounces his name and hundreds of people yelling his name from the audience can't be wrong.:lol:

Re: It's Stephen.....not Stefan
With the exception of Stefan, I thought the rest were all pronounced the same. No?

Re: It's Stephen.....not Stefan
My brother is called Steven, I guess he would be OK.

Re: It's Stephen.....not Stefan

Stefan. |
Re: It's Stephen.....not Stefan

Confused....isn't that what the OP was saying...that "ph" and "v" should be pronounced the same?
