I'm in the same boat as you. I know that way back when, when I read Eragon, I pronounced the dragon's name suh-FEAR-uh. Now, however, it seems most logical to pronounce it suh-FIRE-uh. I think I prefer the first pronunciation, though. Plus, you can always fall back on the fact that in Spanish, the "i" makes a long "e" sound. So hey, reasoning! I'm aware that the name is Greek, but since I know very little about Greek phonetics, I'm not a trusted source on how it would be properly pronounced in Greek.
