Reacting to her tweet, some fans jokingly said they will continue to call her Damascus.

Bams wrote, “Your name is Damascus not Damasus. Fix up.

Ben wrote, “Damasus is for you and your documents shikina.”

“I just came to understand that it’s Stella Damasus and not Stella Damascus. My childhood has been ruined,” Sonjoe Kutuh wrote.

“With all due respect ma, try to pronounce your “Damasus”. Okay, now pronounce “DAMASCUS”, you self feel am abi,” Itunzyy wrote.

"Aunty Stella DamasCus @stelladamasus , sorry ma we cannot unlearn what we grew up pronouncing. This is a petition for you to change your name from “Damasus” to the original one, “DAMASCUS”. Thanks dearie,” Blaq wrote.

Is this not akin to learning to be left handed in old age? She has always been Stella Damascus.

Damascus sounds sweeter &easier and I'll continue to call her that. Why should I stress myself calling her Damasus? Unless a job interviewer asks me for her correct name.
