Zéphirine is pronounced something like "zay feer EEN" in French.

Well, I don't speak French, so I would like to know how to pronounce it in English, if at all possible. Thanks anyway.-Tara-

The name is French, so the pronunciation Kate gave would be the correct one. Since it's a French name, there's no "English" pronunciation.

AgreedIt is pronounced the same in both English and French because it is a French name. If you want to say it incorrectly, but an "English way" you can cut out a bit of the accent and pronounce it Zeff-er-een. I prefer it the French way, Zay-fair-een.
