Thoughts on Stefan?

[NiceButDimTim]

Not really sure why, but this is one of my favourite names. DH likes it as well. Think it has a nice sound to it, more handsome sounding than Stephen, which I don’t mind but dislike the nickname Steve (sounds like an old man down the pub kind of name). Stefan Joseph Jones would be the full name if we did go for it

I like it and the full name works really well. I would assume the nickname would be Stef or that people would just use Stefan.

I love it but people's first thought will probably be vampire diaries....

How would you pronounce it?

It's pronounced STEFF-un.

I like it.

Love it. Very Slavic name.

I really like it although the ones I know tend to pronounce it more like STEFF-an than with an -un ending.
One of our close friends is Stefan but he is called Stef all the time. I think it's a great name.

Fan of vampire diaries too but in itself still a lovely name and not everyone will jump to the show. Just don't name the next one Damon I say go for it!

Sorry it reminds me of the vampire diaries!

LOVE it. Was going to call my son Steffan (Welsh version) but when he came out he didn’t look like a Steffan. It’s a lovely name.

As someone of a slightly older generation the name Stefan makes me think Edberg. But I do like the name.

I went straight there too.

And I was definitely team Damon.

Oh I dunno.... I think if I had a Stefan I'd HAVE to have a Damon too.

And an Elena

Like it (Steff-an here too)

I like it. It is used with that pronunciation and spelling in Ireland quite a lot. Go for it.

I went to school with a lad called Stefan in the 80s. Weirdly enough, his nn is Steve!
He’s been known as Steve since we were 10!

i prefer Stephen.

I would have used the name if DD had been a boy (but would have spelt it Steffan). I love the name! It would have been Steffan James or Steffan Rhys.

I know a nice adult Steffan (Welsh) and it suits him.
I prefer Stephen to Stefan but both are fine.

He will get called Stef.

I really like it. I’m not familiar with the Vampire Diaries.

Sounds great with your choice of middle name and surname.
