I'll give it a shot in Uatakassí

ná Dákkan: Lassitlíltu uabizí upífi!
ná Kablú: Lassílki!
ná Dákkan: Launílki lalásta laziikú lagazínu uavámisuv
ná Kablú: Ká!  Saziikúlki, fái?

Dákkan is a name which means "Fire".  It comes from Common Kassí Dárkan,
a contraction of Dárekan, which was a varient of Dërékan, meaning
"fire", the ancestor of Classic Uatakassí _dlikán_, _kablú_ means
"beautiful door", a typical type of name in that it's formed from
standard name elements, ka (derived from pikaká, "door") and blu
(derived from zablú "beautiful"), even if the meaning isn't typical.
The origin of adults' names are often private.  The _ná_ in front of
their names indicate that they are names of men.

Breakdown:

ná Dákkan: Lassi  -tlí       -l -tu     ua -bizí u  -pífi
ná Dákkan: Look.at-imperative-it-incept G6S-tree G6S-small
G6 singular has multiple forms, ua-, u- and 0-, depending on phonetic
environment
Lassitlíltu is literally something like "Start looking", inceptive is
very common with imperatives

ná Kablú: Lassí-l -ki
ná Kablú: See  -it-NonPunct

ná Dákkan: Launí -l -ki       la -lásta la- ziikú     la- gazínu
ná Dákkan: Be.loc-it-NonPunct G5S-bird  G5S-beautiful G5S-red
ua- vámisu-v
G6S-head  -loc

ná Kablú: Ká! Sa-ziikú    -l -ki       fái?
ná Kablú: Ah! Be-beautiful-it-NonPunct no?

Phonetic transcription
' = high pitch, ` = high-low contour pitch, . = syllable division (low
pitch), C = voiceless palatal fricative, r = alveolar approximate
The names are [`na 'dak.kAn] and ['na kA'blu

Note: Lassitlíltu uabízi is pronounced as if written Lassiltlíl pabizí.
The reason is that ua- preceded by -Cu (not -Cú) becomes pronounced as
-a attached to the preceding word.  However, this is never indicated in
the orthography.  Also, /tw/, /dw/, /nw/, /fw/, /vw/, /pw/, /bw/, and
/mw/ are illegal, becoming, respectively, /p/, /b/, /m/, /f/, /v/, /p/,
/b/, and /m/.  The same applies to kigazínu uavámisu being pronounced as
if kigazíma vámisu.
Also, bizí upífi is pronounced as if bizíu pífi, with the -í u- becoming
a diphthong.  Ua- becomes u- after a stressed vowel or an a.
