That's interesting. I asked a few people around me right now what their intuitive pronunciation is given the spelling when written down, and they each said RAY-fin. To me it is intuitive as well, like the "a" in David, Nathan, Gabriel, and so on. But then, I don't think pronunciations necessarily have to be intuitive, for example: Sean, Siobhan, Filene, Cecile (the computer pronounce it sess-EYE-ul), Phineas (I see FINE-eez), and so on.
