Okay! So - I was talking with someone earlier about how likely it is that I am butchering -everyones- name. So I thought it'd be fun to see how we pronounce our own names and how we pronounce other peoples.
Thalia - ThA-lee-a
Emeraude ( I -know- this is wrong) Em-ee-rude
Landon - Lan-done
Margrat - Mar-great
Alonzo - Al-Lon-Zoe
Maena - Me-Na
Orla - Or-la (<.<)
Matteo - Ma-Tah-Oh
Kilana - Kill-Anna
Samir - Sah-Meer
Frederic - Jah-en

This is nifty!
Emeraude di Notte: Em-er-odd di No-tay. Which means "emerald of/at night".
For reference, you could search actress Emeraude Toubia for pronunciation.
Lady Emeraude di Farnese, Landgrave of Genoa
Mistress of Robes to the Queen of Italy
Reeve of the Italian Consulate

Kjell is pronounced sort of like Chell/Shell, but we don't have the exact Kj sound in English.

I've always pronounced Emmaline "EHM-ə-lien" (ie as in "bite" or "mind").
