Also you can expand the RE a bit to improve readability:
re.compile("Stev|Steph|Stef|Steff)(en|an)")

It might *only* if somebody had a rush of blood to the head and devised
yet another phonetic key "algorithm". Tsuzi does *not* give the same
result as any of Suzi, Suzie, Su

If I have a list, say of names. And I want to count all the people
named, say, Susie, but I don't care exactly how they spell it (ie,
Susy, Susi, Susie all work.) how would I do this? Set up a regular
