[Opinions] Re: Pronunciation of Raphael
I sort of give equal stress to each syllable, but I suppose it would be the last one if anything. And I don't say it fee-EL, it's more like rah-fah-YEL. "The secret garden is always open now. Open, and awake, and alive. If you look the right way, you can see that the whole world is a garden."

that's how I'd say it tooand that's how the two I've met have pronounced it, but one was Spanish and one mostly English as far as I know. Either spelling is fine by me, but I think Raf or Rafi works better as an nn.
