How do you pronounce these names?

From southern [name_m]New[/name_m] [name_m]England[/name_m], in the US:

Oh-RYE-on

Taa-ra (I can’t describe how I say it. We [name_m]New[/name_m] Englanders use the short “a” sound. We never say “Tay-ruh, or Tair-uh).

MY-uh

Lay-ah

eh-LAY-nah

HELL-uh-nah

NYE-oh-mi

Claa-ra
