I also just pronounce it like "Steven", that is, as ["sti:vI~:n] or ["sti:vn=:].
Yes, "Stephen" is pronounced the same as "Steven" (which is just an alternate spelling of the same name).
How do you pronounce Stefen? What is the difference in pronounciation in Stefan and Stefen?
I have a friend named 'Stephan', and people pronounce it differently. I've always called him [stE"fQn], but some other people say ["stEf.n=]. I would say 'Stefen' as ["stEf.n=].
So are you saying Stefan rhymes with Evan or Stefen rhymes with Evan? Does Stefen rhyme with Evan or is Stefen pronounced like Steven?
I have:
Stephen, Steven ["sti:vn=] Stephan, Stefan [stE"fA:n] Stefen ["stEfn=] Evan ["Evn=]
I'd pronounce "Stephan" as "Steven" with an 'f' sound. Pronouncing it the same as "Steven" doesn't make sense to me because I'm not aware of any other words or names where 'ph' has a 'v' sound.

Well, whether it makes sense or not, "Stephen" is generally pronounced as though it had a V, and rhymes with even.
But when spelling indicates an F-sound, as in Stefan or Stephan, the E is usually short. |
