    I pronounce them properly. Meaning:

    Zidane - Zid Ann.
    Garnet - Gar Net
    Steiner - Sty Ner
    Freya - Fray Uh
    Amarant - Am Uh Rant
    Eiko - Eye Ko
    Quina - Queen Uh
    Vivi - Vee Vee
    Beatrix - Beer Tricks (in the sense that you say beer and it sounds a little like "be a")
    Brahne - Bra N.
    Genome - Jee Gnome.
    Kuja - Koo Juh.
    Fratley - Teh Bset. Or Frat Lee. Either work.
