hehe
SAN (as in Ann with a n S in front of it)
san fe del ee
equal emphasis on all the syllables
the e in fe is a schwa. so almost "fa"
but I always think its nice when someone thinks it is French and says
San fe dell' on the phone. It is also nice that only people who
are either named Fideli or Fedele know how to pronounce it until I say
it (it is a made-up name, I'm told - and Ellis ISland mistake or something)
No one who calls me who doesn't already know me in person gets it
right.. I usually hang up when I hear them struggling asking for me.
"Can I speak to Ms San fED AH LEE?" and I'm gone
