Mintxo[ˈminˌtʃo] (meen-choh)Keep in mind that in Basque the stress is usually not distinctive and less marked that in other languages. Both syllables are stressed.

Since no one's answered yet, I can answer some of them. But I can't claim them to be 100% right because I'm only going off my own knowledge + what I've seen written around the internet!Seachlann - SHACK-lan
Anrai - on-REE
Flaithri - FLOR-ee
Riona - ree-O-naNot sure on Mintxo.

Anrai being pretty much the same as Henri disappoints me.
And I was hoping that Riona was a little more like the Scottish/Irish Fiona in pronunciation.
I really like Flaithri.Thanks!
