Ceferino is pronounced three ways in Spanish: either "sheh-feh-REE-no" (soft "sh" like in Shirley), "theh-feh-REE-no" or "seh-feh-REE-no".
It's the same with Céfiro:
SHEH-fee-ro
THEH-fee-ro
SEH-fee-ro
The pronunciation depends on whether the "c" is pronounced correctly or not, whether the speaker hisses or lisps. The last pronunciation in both names is the most widespread.
