I mean, I have no idea how he pronounces his own name, but I've never heard this pronunciation in Portuguese. @ryanbeckwith
Now I'm wondering if people in Brasil for some reason pronounce it differently... @frecklesnsun

believe this is your confusion: i speak brasilian portuguese and never hear the last consonant -ee when i meet european speakers
-
WOW. So people pronounce it differently in Portugal than they do in Brasil?!
@wpbeyer -
look i'd say even within Brazil, we pronounce it differently depending on where we are from.
-
I've only ever heard it one way in the south of brasil... Didn't know it's pronounced differently elsewhere.
@NicoleFroio@wpbeyer -
in rio, for example, the s will sound more like sh, in Sao Paulo it will be flatter.
-
rhythm of pronunciation will change as you go north, nearer the border sometimes sounds like spanish.

I was wondering if it was Madeira specific. Sometimes an island will do things differently than the mainland.
