Fiennes has said he pronounces his first name as “Rafe” (or “Ray-f”), dropping the enunciation of the letter l. He adds that it is based off a “funky Old English” pronunciation, though it may more accurately be a late Middle English and early Modern English predecessor of the name’s pronunciation. His last name is pronounced the same as the word “fines.”
