Help[Opinions] Re: Pronunciation of Raphael
in reply to a message by Ismene
I guess I pronounce it like ra-fay-EL. The a isn't like either of those examples, it's ah... like in lot. I'd pronounce it the same no matter who it was on, I think.
I like the nn Rafe, although if I heard it I'd assume it was Ralph.
I'm not sure what I think about Raphael. I want to like it, but I'm not sure I can get past the Ninja turtle when I hear it/say it outloud. I like both spellings, but prefer the ph. I really like the way Raphael looks.

Yeah I guess maybe I should have said "cat or cot". In my area caught and cot are said virtually the same though. There is a difference that I recognize (probably more than anyone else in my hometown) I just have to concentrate on it a bit more
