> BTW, Geoff, I know that Ralph Fiennes pronounces his name "Rafe." Is that the usual pronunciation of Ralph in the UK or a nickname?

Geoff:
That is correct. It can be pronounced in two ways: as spelt -  ie "Ralf" or 
as, in this case,  Rafe.

One of the most famous users of the latter is the English composer Ralph 
Vaughan Williams.
