[name_m]How[/name_m] would you pronounce this name?
I’ve only ever heard it on the tc show, the vampire diaries and they always said it “steh-fin”
What is your overall opinion on this name and what middle name suggestions do you have?
Thank you berries! ”
I pronounce "steff-ahn "
But now I read your message I have heard “steh-fin” too. [name_m]Stephen[/name_m] [name_u]Curry[/name_u] goes by that pronunciation- although I would think that could be [name_m]Steven[/name_m] pronunciation too.
Sorry not very helpful! 
I pronounce it the same as you and PP, depending on however they say it, but my automatic pronunciation is steff-in. Much nicer sounding than [name_m]Stephen[/name_m]/[name_m]Steven[/name_m]!
Steff-un (like the beginning of [name_f]Stephanie[/name_f])
I like it! It has a nice softness to it while also sounding strong
[name_m]Stefan[/name_m] [name_m]Lucas[/name_m]
[name_m]Stefan[/name_m] [name_u]Jude[/name_u]
[name_m]Stefan[/name_m] [name_m]Hebert[/name_m]
[name_m]Stefan[/name_m] [name_m]Henry[/name_m]
[name_m]Stefan[/name_m] [name_u]Elias[/name_u]
[name_m]Stefan[/name_m] [name_m]Alexander[/name_m]
[name_m]Stefan[/name_m] [name_u]Rory[/name_u]
[name_m]Stefan[/name_m] [name_m]Walter[/name_m]
[name_m]Stefan[/name_m] [name_u]River[/name_u]
[name_m]Stefan[/name_m] [name_m]Maxwell[/name_m]
The only pronunciation I’m aware of is “steff-AHN” with the emphasis on the second syllable.
The only [name_m]Stefan[/name_m] I’ve known in person pronounced it st-[name_f]FAHN[/name_f], with a very abbreviated first syllable, so that’s my go-to.
I say STEH-fahn, maybe it sounds even a little like STAY-fahn (the e is a little bit longer). I’m Scandinavian though.
I quite like it, but it’s a little bit dated where I live. I think the English [name_m]Stephen[/name_m] is more elegant.
Steff-ahhn.
I think maybe Stefen I would pronounce Steff-in but it just looks weird.
My first instinct is ste-[name_f]FAHN[/name_f], but I have also heard it pronounced [name_u]STEF[/name_u]-in.
I pronounce it ste-fin, like in The Vampire Diaries
I have always pronounced this spelling as stef-AHN.
I’d say it steh-FON or steh-FANN.
The ambiguity matrix is often discussed socially with “ph” wielders in either “V” or “F” sounds as they can contrast and compare. I’ve had to redapt [name_f]My[/name_f] grooming for this reason. I have sean [name_f]My[/name_f] first formal spelled with the “an” spelling and only one second this way.
I pronounce it like they do in TVD, STEF-ihn. I like it! [name_m]Stefan[/name_m] [name_u]Elias[/name_u], [name_m]Stefan[/name_m] [name_u]George[/name_u] and [name_m]Stefan[/name_m] [name_m]Oliver[/name_m] are great combos imo.
