Only really had time for the girls' names... will post with boys later.

I pronounce Adela Uh-dell-uh, Alana Uh-lah-nuh, and Camilla Kuh-mill-uh. I have no idea about Aoibheann.

I like Adela Ray the best. :)

ah-DELL-ah (I prefer Adele)
ah-LAY-nah (I would spell the second Alanna, with 2 Ns, which I prefer)
EE-ven (anglicized to Eavan, which I like a lot. The other has too many letters.)
ka-MILL-ah (I like this.)

Part 1
Adela = it's spanish, prn Ah-DEH-lah
Alana = in italian I'd prn it Ah-LAH-na, but in English Ah-LAY-na, but not like Elaina
Aoibheann = I'm giving it a try: Ivan? prn EE-van?
Camilla = it's Cah-MEEL-lah in italian, probably more like Cam-ILL-ah in english

Adela: uh-DEL-uh
Alana: My first instinct was uh-LAY-nuh, but after I stopped to think about it for a moment, I'd guess uh-LAN-uh.
Aoibheann: something along the lines of EE-ven...or maybe ee-VAWN...I...I don't know, this is too much pressure!
Camilla: kuh-MIL-uh

I'm just going to tell you how I pronounce those names in English, since I suppose that's what you're asking for =):
Adela: Uh-DELL-uh
Alana: A-LAH-nuh
Aoibheann: Like 'even'...according to babynamesofireland.com (http://www.babynamesofireland.com/pages/girl-names-a-c.html). Otherwise I wouldn't have known either!
Camilla: Kuh-MILL-uh.

Adela Uh-dell-uh, Alana Uh-lah-nuh, and Camilla Kuh-mill-uh, and Aoibheann is something like Evan, right?

Not a fan of Ray (reminiscent of Billy Ray Cyrus).

Aoibheann (ee-ven) is one of my favourite names, but I'm not into the english version Eavan and I can barely spell this irish version, haha.
