Steffany
Various documents have it spelled differently, so for the wiki we checked. Here's what Freeman had to say:
- Q - Is it "Stephanie" or "Stephany"?
- A - Thanks for asking, 'cause neither spelling is correct. It is Steffany. My comment has always been, "You can mispronounce it, but don't misspell it."
