If it's yeh-fteh then I like it, if it's dzhe-fteh then I don't. My favourite is Václav!

Jefte is Brazilian so I think most likely Yeh-fteh though I don’t speak Portuguese.
Portuguese orthography on Wikipedia says J is pronounced zh, so it is zheh-fteh. With that pronounciation, it's okay. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portuguese_orthography
Thank you
