[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do PP pronounce the name Stephanie with a v sound, too? How about the word nephew? The letters “ph” together make an f sound. I have no idea why this name would present an exception to that rule. If someone wants their kid to be called stee-vin then they should spell it “Steven”.[/quote] I mean there are lots of non-phonetic words/names in English. It just comes from being a language that comes from mixing two languages together plus 1,000 years. Like if you name your kid "Sean" and expect it to be pronounced like "seen". Joaquin isn't phonetic either. Geoff is "Jeff". Chloe and Christine don't make "ch" sounds. And that's not even getting into Irish names like Saoirse.[/quote]
