Yeah, you never know if your family name is spelled the original way. A lot of people coming into the states had their names permanently changed when immigration agents couldn't spell them correctly. Immigrants didn't speak english well enough to correct them. A lot of names got spelled phonetically instead.

BTW, "Stefano" means "crowned one", if anyone's interested. It's originally Greek as "Stefanos".
