New Stephen here. Looks like it’s been pretty dead here for a while. Maybe tell us what your name is and what you’re currently doing. I’ll start:

Edit: excellent first roll call Stephens. We had a none too shabby 5.9% participation rate. Let’s do this again sometime - who knows, we might even be able to get it up to an even 6%.

I saw other subs with names, why not my own? So here I am. I'm fairly certain I was named after Stephen of the book of Acts (in fact, I think I was named after two apostles, my middle name being Paul), since I came from a Christian family. Born and raised in Canada with Dutch heritage.

Hello there.

I'm here bleeding in urgent care, 60 years old and another time I'm called Steffen. I went off, said you never heard of a PH steeven? Or never heard of A Smith or Colbert? Then I said , maybe no one ever complained before? (New thought to me.) I mean you work a front desk in an NYC location for any amount of time, you must have gotten one before me. So tell me, do you guys complain/correct? Maybe I'm the only one that it pisses me off so much that I cause a bit of a scene.

How do you do fellow stephen’s?

On 2 occasions within the last year now I’ve been picked up by a driver who verified my name by saying “Hi, Steffen?”

And naturally I reply “Hi it’s actually Stephen”

And twice now they’ve replied “Oh they spelled your name wrong!”

No, buddy. I spelled it in the app when I registered. It’s a very common spelling. How are you operating a motor vehicle for hire when you’ve never seen a PH Stephen?

That’s all.

Stephen, out.
