Auntie Goose asked Shannon Messenger:

How do you pronounce the Keeper of the Lost Cities character's last names? Keefe's in particular.

Shannon Messenger Oh boy--there are way too many names for me to sit down and make a phonetic chart for all of them. Plus, I like to leave it to readers to decide their own pronunciations.

But since you specifically asked about Keefe, the way I hear it in my head (which is in no way more right or wrong than the way anyone else hears it) it's: Sense-in, where Sense rhymes with pence.
