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!

Re: It's Stephen.....not Stefan
Also I believe Stephen Hawking had his name pronounced "Steven".
Therefore you are outnumbered.

With the exception of Stefan, I thought the rest were all pronounced the same. No?

My brother is called Steven, I guess he would be OK.

Maybe you look more like a Stefan and it confuses them?
