You need quotes.

Stephen (without quotes) is an object, which you haven't previously
defined.  'Stephen' is a string, which can be compared to person.

Which version of Python are you using?  If it's 2.x, PLEASE don't use
input() - use raw_input() instead.  In 3.x, input() does what raw_input()
used to, so it's cool.

Finally, you're likely to catch some grief for posting your code as a
picture; in future, post code as plain text.  (Sure, we won't see the nifty
syntax highlighting, but that's OK!)  Every single post to this list that's
anything but plain text generates at least one complaint; it significantly
lowers the signal-to-noise ratio.
