Ahh those are good ones I totally looked over. I like Stephan more though, I knew a Stefan in grade school and didn't like him much.

For some reason where I'm from (locally), it's like the new in thing to spell names how they'd be spelled from their ancestral ethnicity. Like I've seen a few baby Giulias and a Giuliana from Italian-Americans and more Irish variants from Irish-Americans. I really like it, I think it's interesting even though they're like third-fourth generation Americans and a lot of the time only part Italian/Irish/etc. I don't know, I believe people should just go with what they like.
