I only know two of them:
Simon is Shim`on, spelled:
shin (hhiriq)
mem (shva)
`ayin (hholam-malei)
nun-sofit
or just shin - mem - `ayin - vav - nun.sofit
and pronounced something like [Sim3on], where /3/ is a voiced pharyngeal
fricative or approximant (the "`ayin" sound)
Joseph is Yoseif, spelled:
yud (hholam-malei)
samekh (tzeireh)
pei-sofit
or just yud - vav - samekh - pei.sofit
and pronounced something like [josef].
the two /o/'s might be long, i'm not sure and i'm not sure if it matters.
both names are stressed on the last syllable.
