[Opinions] Re: Ra-fa-EL
I was just going by the pronunciations this site provides and by what I myself have heard the most. Of the 3 pronunciations the site shows, 2 have the "fee" sound there But this is why I worry about it's use IRL, no one can agree on a pronunciation!I like Rafe fine on its own too, but with my SO's last name the FN/LN combo sounds a bit like "refried beans" ...ok not literally but close enough to where my mind goes there immediately_______________________________________

lol, refried beans!Wow, didn't see that BtN had the bad (IMO) pronunciation there.I think you're right, it is a little bit of a problem using it in real life. But it's not so big that it should stop anyone from using the name, IMO.
