All the Sophias and Irenes I know (some of whom are quite elderly) are so-FEE-a and IGH-reen, all the Marias* are ma-REE-a, and Ralph is Ralph here, unless you are Ralph Fiennes and being a big show-off.
Can vouch for Ursula, Basil and Cecil, though.*Except in the old name for a police van, which is called a 'Black Maria', pronounced ma-RIGH-a
