Are there any french grammar experts out there?

I would like someone who is 110% sure of their answer before they respond to this. I'll get to my question in a sec but first I would like to present that my mom was born in France so I have "some" background in this area. My mom has passed however so I have no expert to go to anymore with my questions. How do you pronounce Bret Favre's name. All the announcers reverse the v & the r and make it Bret Farve, and I don't think this is correct. Phonetically I think the name should be pronounced "Fahv or Fahve" similar to Le Havre. Can anyone confirm or tell me that I am wrong if this is the case?? Please be absolutely sure of your response. Thankyou.
