How to Pronounce your Name

After a quick search on the words "pronounce" and "name" I figured this board might not have one of these lists.
I know there've been threads like this before, but not sure how updated (I remember one from 2006 lol).
We're getting into making videos and we wanted to know how to pronounce character names just in case the triplets mention them.
Here are ours:
Tehau=Tay-How
Nehau=Nay-How
Dehau=Day-How

Yeah, there was one on the old forum.
Angaroth -> Gree - bo.
I lie, of course (but maybe not forever).
Angaroth -> bang without the b + uh + wroth

Yar, old board link
here. Which... uh... is only useful if you can log into the board >.>
ny-MAR-ay / n'mar-ay
Ny = like
night, though "neh" like "
never" works, and is more how I say it in my head, not really giving the y much of anything.
Mar = like
mark.
Ay = like
cake or
ray (rei ... eh?
eh) Hell, even "ee" like "eep" so it comes out "Nymari" will work.
think: Belore
Or, ONLY if you're Abric or Grainger: Nougat.
New-gat.
Just not Nigh-mare. Please, not Nigh-mare.

Malkaris is...
Mal (as in Mal-nutrition)
Karis (karis - pronounced the way it looks)
together...
Mal'karis, like saying two names together, not as one word where it sounds like, "Malkar is"
like...mal'ganis...but karis at the end *nod nod*
and no, that was not the inspiration for the name O.o

I prefer to believe it is irish, and since they can't spell it is pronounced shebeen. So Q is a drunkard for a reason.

Male - brig - nun
or, if you like, I'll also accept:
Mal-ay-breen-yawn
Like "filet mignon"
It's usually just "Brig", though.

One would think the name Agrovale would be easy to pronounce. Alas Syreena has a tough time spelling the name let alone pronouncing it.
Ag-ro-vale.
Ag as in rAG
ro as in ROw
vale as in VALE
If you cannot pronounce this name then I suggest you sit down with the nearest toddler and watch Sesame Street for a good hour then come back and try pronouncing Agrovale again. If you fail again then you fail at life.
