How would you pronounce these?

So I’ve not finished a single book but I of course have many that are started…I enjoy making up names for fantasy stories and have had these in my notes for YEARS!

How would you pronounce them? They are all crazily similar I’m sure but in this storyline names beginning with vowels and ending this way (for women) is common amount the royalty. Any variations of these you can make up are welcome! As a storyline it might be too much but I like the idea of how I’m the past royalty often recycled the same name for sake of honoring and also for favor.

Erremine

Aphrimine

Ellarine

Iphirina

Orriminira

Ethenwei

Ethawina

Ashamine

Urralina

How did you register audio?

First I used my iPhone to create a voice memo


I added this voice memo to “My Files” on my phone

Then I went to make a post on mobile and pressed this button with the arrow

Then it asks you what you are trying to upload so click on the files and find the voice memo
