in reply to a message by Maeve Celyn
General note: Hebrew names are usually transcripted phonetically.
Each i is like the i in "will"
Each a is like the a's in "data"
Each o is like the o in "more" (and NOT as in "no")
Each e is like the first e in "message"
Each u is like the oo in "poor"
(of course this doesn't apply to Jewish names that are not Hebrew, like "Perle")
Therefor:
Adi (f) - ah-DEE
Ahuva (f) - ah-HOO-vah
Chava (f) - chah-VAH (also: CHAH-vah. ch as in "loch")
Natan (m) - nah-TAN (also: NAH-tan)
Orah (f) - O-rah
Oren (m) - O-ren
Shir (f) - SHEER
Tova (f) - TO-vah ("TO" as in "TOMAS")
