Anybody that can help me pronounce that name?

I listened to an audiobook with a main character who had that name (The Rook by Daniel O'Malley) and the narrator pronounced it in a way that rhymed with Tiffany

Yeah I say Mu Fan Way but as a scot with no Welsh relatives that's probably completely wrong

/məˈvɑːn.wi/ is what Wiktionary says, it's like muh-van-wy

The stress should usually be on the second syllable

Off-topic, but on-comment:
an amazing book with an intriguing story!
To those who like urban fantasy I wholeheartedly recommend it.
