Hi, Kitty1986!

It's my understanding, that the ones that do that the best here, will need to have the exact phonetic pronunciations of the names in order to be the most accurate. So, if you would provide those, I'm sure that it would be helpful!

Thanks!

Respectively,
उषा
सुकुमारन
These are basically Sanskrit words, hence pronunciation is not needed.
Usha is name of Deity of Dawn or dawn itself.
Sukumaran means the tender one.

I take this opportunity to thank Clough, for his always prompt responses regarding pronunciations of names. Thanks Clough!
