Here’s the kicker on Seahawks’ Hauschka — his first name is really Stephen and not Steven

It’s really no big deal, Seahawks kicker Stephen Hauschka insisted Thursday.

And yes, that’s Stephen with a P-H and not Steven with a V, as he has been known for roughly a decade now.

That everyone has been misspelling the first name of the Seahawks’ kicker for years became revealed earlier this week when Hauschka appeared on a “Why Not Me Pets’’ segment on KCPQ-13 in Seattle.

A cameraman — either suspicious of the PR materials provided by the Seahawks or maybe just doing his job — asked Hauschka how to spell his first name.
