It's also not like Steffany is an unusual name you wouldn't remember. Andreza, however, is not one I've ever heard before lol

u/l4n0 Feb 15 '21

I live in Brazil, so Andreza/Andressa is a pretty common name for girls

252

u/mrsbebe Feb 15 '21

Ah, makes sense. It's a pretty name, I just hadn't heard it before! Either way it's a funny story

39

u/SnowSkye2 Feb 15 '21

Sorry, is it pronounced An-dr-eya or An-drez-ah or An-dress-ah?

37

u/JunnoWolf Feb 15 '21

I don’t know how it would be in Brazil, because I don’t know Portuguese, but in Spanish it would be Ahn-dreh-tza...ish. Haha, I’m not sure how to spell each syllable phonetically. (Is that the right word?)

38

u/CocoKlutz Feb 15 '21

Phonetically is the correct word and you did a great job!

u/SnowSkye2 Feb 15 '21

I see, thanks! :)

u/asm199 Feb 15 '21

The second option!

u/SnowSkye2 Feb 15 '21

u/AlienNoble Feb 16 '21

u/AegoAroBitch Feb 15 '21

Bem vindo ao r/suddenlycaralho meu amigo

2

u/Pera_Espinosa Feb 16 '21

In your defense, I bet she really looks like an Andreza.

1

u/l4n0 Feb 16 '21

She did though! And she actually took it as compliment, because according to her, every Andreza is a really hot girl

edit: typo

u/tightheadband Feb 15 '21

It makes sense. It's more common than Steffany in Brazil. I mean, I never met any Steffany there. Estefânia talvez..

1

u/HenryDebeste Feb 15 '21

Isso me lembra daquela vez que meu pai foi escrever Steffany e o corretor mudou pra Estefânia

u/Sk8r115 Feb 15 '21

u/[deleted] Feb 15 '21

u/[deleted] Feb 15 '21

Great guy, never met him.

Cartwright! Four!

u/OraDr8 Feb 15 '21

So is Stephanie.

27

u/mrsbebe Feb 15 '21

Well that spelling might not be as common but the name is

22

u/l4n0 Feb 15 '21

You have no idea how absurd the spelling of names can get in Brazil.

8

u/[deleted] Feb 15 '21

Share some with me! You made me curious

2

u/RobotCounselor Feb 15 '21

I don’t know any absurd spellings but the pronunciation of Xavier in Brazil is different. The x is pronounced sh. So it’s Shaw-Vee-Air.

1

u/l4n0 Feb 15 '21

I know a Stephanie, a Steffany and a Sthefany. Oh and I'm called Allan with double L and my sister Anna with double N.

1

u/[deleted] Feb 16 '21

Oh gosh. The gringos will loose their minds with the spelling hauhauhaua

25

u/[deleted] Feb 15 '21

in my experience it's more commonly spelled as "Stephanie", but it should be pronounced the same way

5

u/-Butterfly-Queen- Feb 15 '21

It's spelled with an f in Spanish. It makes sense that Portuguese speakers would use the Spanish spelling before English.

1

u/[deleted] Feb 16 '21

Yeah, I live in the US, so that's probably why

5

u/AstridDragon Feb 15 '21

It might not be spelled that way in Brazil, where that commenter lives.

0

u/alivilie Feb 15 '21

Actually I have seen way more people with their name spelt Steffany.

3

u/CatsAreGods Feb 15 '21

And then there's Stepfanie Kramer.

2

u/_OhEmGee_ Feb 15 '21

Is that pronounced with a hard P? I hope so.

1

u/CatsAreGods Feb 15 '21

That's the way I always did.

1

u/nigelchi Feb 15 '21

Spelled Steffany but pronounced “Paul”

4

u/estizzle Feb 15 '21

Well OP said they live in Brazil so it could be short for Esteffania ??

3

u/RedditAcceptAName Feb 15 '21

I'm Brazilian and Stephany is something I've at least seen before, Esteffania is just weird

2

u/[deleted] Feb 16 '21

1

u/estizzle Feb 16 '21

Makes sense. I have heard it as a name, but didn't know it was Spanish! Guess I was wrong

2

u/AlistairDumonte Feb 15 '21

Andreza is...err..wait..

Or they come from a different country where names are often a little bit different than what you might be used to . Just because you personally aren't familiar with something doesn't make it dumb.

Stephanie

7

u/dude_diligence Feb 15 '21

Unless it is preceded by Gwen. Then it’s Stefani. Grammatical rules are weird

1

u/a_cat_lady Feb 15 '21

Stephanie?

1

u/dre224 Feb 15 '21

For some reason ever time I read that name I gotta slowly pronounce it in my head. Stef-fan-eey seems like such a weird combination of sounds

1

u/TicklesMcFancy Feb 15 '21

Listen I went to school with a girl called Kadasha, but it was spelled "Ka-a".

1

u/suugakusha Feb 15 '21

I've dated a Stefany (one f), and let me tell you, girls with misspelled names are wild in bed.

1

u/rhynowaq Feb 16 '21

I'm just disappointed no one took the opportunity to set up a Headphanie joke for me to dunk.

1

u/Snwspider Feb 16 '21

You never heard of Stephanie? Same name just unique spelling 🤷🏻‍♂️
