I would pronounce
Eleri like
Ellery, eh-LAIR-ee, or EH-ler-ee. eh-LAIR-ee is pretty, but it's too close to the word "hilarious" for my liking.
Eleri Katherine flows nicely. I honestly don't care for the name
Katharine though. How about
Eleni?
As for
Miriam, I think that it's very pretty. I don't think that it's too serious.
