yup ep-ah-FA-nee.

Not exactly intuitive. But it is a cat's last name.

i used to, but i spoke with nick, and he doesn't pronounce his name like getting a sudden insight. accent on the 3rd syllable, which is pronounced FAH not FUH

I don't care how the guy pronounces his name. Epi-FAWN-ee sounds pretentious as heck so I just say it like the sudden burst of enlightenment. I'm sure he's heard it pronounced wrong a few times before.
