Maybe it would be possible if you picked something less common. Just type in www.stepahine.com and see that it is already taken. Plus, to have a domain like that, you have to pay monthly/yearly for it. It's NOT free.
Try these:

As the person below me says, stepahine.com is taken. Also know that those domain names cost about $15 per year. The next best thing is a free subdomain, which I would be happy to provide; like stepahine.theymos.com . I would also be happy to host and design your website, all for FREE.

Hi stephanie.
Having your own site is very much possible (I currently have two and am looking to register and make a few more). I did a quick search for you through the company I have my web site with and, I'm guessing you had meant www.stephanie.com (and not stepahine.com) is not available to use because it's already being used (or registered) by someone else. The thing you have to remember is that most first names will have been already registered by now (especially the popular domains like .com, .net, .co.uk and such).
You may want to try including your second name in there as well and then try again to see if it comes up with anything that way? So that you can experiment and search yourself, go to [Link](Mouse over link to see full location) (this is the company I use for my web site registrations and domain space since their customer service has been extremely awesome) and once there just type into the box the name you want to see is avaiable then hit the red 'REGISTER DOMAIN' button. This will do a check for you to see if the name you're after is available to use (and will list the same name for allt heother domain types as well such as .co.uk, .net, .org etc).
Once you manage to find one you want to get send me a message to my inbox and I'll give you some help on what you'll need to do and the things you'll need to consider and think about when deciding which company to buy from since you will also be needing domain space (in addition to buying the domain name) where you can create your web site. Just to clarify as well... 'domain name' refers to the name of the site you want (stephanie.com, stephanie.co.uk, stephanie.net etc) and the 'domain space' refers to space on a server where your web site pages and files will all be stored and kept. These are all the pages and files people will see when they go to your domain name on the internet.
Basicly you will need both domain name and space so you will need to bare in this in mind when deciding what company to go with since prices can vary from one to another. My site costs me roughly £38 for the first year (£20 for a .com name which is valid for 2 years and £18 for a basic hosting package which is valid for 1 year) but these prices vary a lot from one company to another. I'll help you look around if you'd want too. :]
