I wasn't sure on all of the names, but I tried my best to get the best
version of their pronunciations (for those who I was sure where
they're from, expecially) that I could think of (René's last name was
tricky). I've also tried to get the names closer to how I think they
would really be pronounced in Ayhan (which isn't always as close as
i've done here. In essence to "Ayhanize" them. A few which sound more
"Ayhan" then I've included:

Isak Penseba > Isak Pinsiba
Steg Beski > Steg Besi
Deybid Pitarsan > Deybid Pitasan
Beng Pirip Yonson > Beng Pirip Yunsan
Rene Oytambogad > Rene Oytamboga
Kristiyan Talman > Krisyan Talman
Kasten Beka > Kasen Beka\
Sali Kebsa > Sali Kes

These are all esthetic considerations rather than phonetic.
