Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I've never met a Stephen who pronounced it differently from Steven. I'd say the pronunciation is ultimately in the name-holder's hands, but to my knowledge the alternate pronunciation is not as prevalent as a Megan variant, and not even on par with Deborahs.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
All this holiday gift talk reminds me that I need to call my brother and sister-in-law to see if there's anything in particular I can get for the nephlets.(One is 4 1/2 and the other is 1 1/2)

Beth, do you get Omaha steaks, or something else?

Of course you can't hear LA - you are too far north. But see? You're crying for it.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
ION, one of my bosses claims that 'Stephen' is pronounced the same as 'Steven.' MY other boss and I say 'Stephen' is pronounced 'Stefen.'
Poll of all Stephens within a 4-foot radius produces 100% "Pronounced like Steven" responses.
I've only ever known one who did otherwise, and he was always having to correct people who thought that the "f" pronunciation should be spelled Stephan.
I think steaks are a lovely gift; there's also the Bacon Of The Month Club, if you're looking for both non-veg and of-the-month.

As evidenced by the fact that the two Megans on this board use different pronunciations.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Yeah! Bad SoCal people. No biscuit.yeah!
Mmm, pears. We used to get Harry & David boxes from my uncle. Then his church moved next to Beebee Farms (Huh. No Web presence... I think Ken, the patriarch, died recently and I wanted to check. How will I know without the internets???) and now we get their boxes. Oregon has the awesomest pears.

Because books.
My Stephen is pronounced Steven (but he is very protective of his spelling, and also of the fact that his name is *not* pronounced Steffan).
Zingerman's and Wolferman's both make yummy, if pricey, gifts. Never had an Omaha steak.
