*is happy that the Elvish pronounciation of vowels is almost identical to the German one*

I think Eönwë is correct with eh-on-weh. The 'e' needs to be the way Legate said, but 'eh' is simpler and close enough. The 'w' definitely has to be pronounced as an English 'w' and not like a 'v'.

And now, for a challenge...
ee-bree-nee-theel-pah-thah-neh-zehl?

And for completeness' sake...
mahk-ahl-ow-reh

(the first 'th' in Ibri's name should be soft, and the 'r's should be trilled)
