[Facts] Stefan
Stefan is also used in Germany but it is not pronounced the same way. It is a form of Stephen . It is hard to describe the pronounciation. The "e" in Stefan is long but not pronounced like "ee". It is like "stay" without the last sound. And "fan" is pronounced like "fun". But why not simply ask Stefan how he pronounces his name and then repeat it some times?

Thanks for the help. That's a good question--actually, I haven't and won't see him in person for a while (or talk to him on the phone), so I thought I'd try to find out how to say his name and surprise him the next time I saw him. I guess that's just taking the hard way. But, again thank you very, very much for your help.
