Hi LeahFaith35,
Gereon: GEH-reh-on (hard g-sound like in "go")
Gregor: GREH-gohr
Kayeton: I've never seen this name in Germany
Alena: ah-LEH-nah
Helena: heh-LEH-nah
For the eh-sound see here:

click on "long vowels" on the right and then listen to the word "Lehrer"

Kayeton? Maybe you mean Cajetan?
