HelpRe: Raphael

Love the name, and this is how I pronounce it:

First pronunciation.
The following different pronunciations are why we stopped considering it. My dad (born in the midwest, spent the past 30 on the east coast) kept stressing the first syllable and it made me crazy.
I remember there was somebody on BTN who said that it should be spelled Rafael and only use by people of Hispanic/Latino backgrounds.
