Just to add a data point about the pronunciation; the way you've written it leads me to read it as "har-penny", which I imagine is valid, however we pronounced it in my family as "hay-penny".

[jameshart → richrichardsson]

Sorry, that is indeed the intended pronunciation. In fact even briefer than that: more hayp’ny.

Just wanted to really get across that most importantly, the l and f are definitely both silent.

[richrichardsson → jameshart]

It's been so long I had completely forgotten about that extra contraction.

Reminds me of one of my favourite coins I had in my possession as a child, a "thrup'ny bit"!

For the uninitiated this was a pre-decimalisation three pence coin.
