3. 1998 Spectator|The Spectator, 7 March 1998, page 55 ("Dear Mary..."):

Regarding the correct pronunciation, especially of the name Ralph: according to a friend at the BBC, the possibilities of this name - either aristocratic 'Rafe' or vulgar, almost Australasian 'Ralff' - lie in its potential for wilful mispronunciation against type. I saw him cast confusion into an over-confident studio guest by introducing him as '(w)'. This was nothing to the consternation, almost disintegration of the personality, of the artistic, aloof actor brought on as '(w)' ('Fiennes', naturally, pronounced superbly).
