Thanks, CD. Here are a few more suggestions to replace the ten you listed, together with some suggested pronunciations and a hint at influences...again, it's your world, so feel free to change them however you see fit:
La Sionate
[lah-sho-NAH-teh] - Italianate/Romance
Otavia
[oh-TAH-vee-ah] - Romance
Morakana
[mo-rah-KAH-nah] - Japanese, with Italianate pronunciation/stress
Darusse
[dah-ROOSH-(ih)] - Romance take on Russian/Slavic. Last syllable should be unaspirated, in other words, almost skipped
Lhevitso
[h'leh-VEET-so] - Greek/Italian combo, borrowing a Welsh(!) pronunication
Shingo
[SHIN-GO] - Japanese
Dzhangala
[d'zhan-GAH-lah] - Slavic/Japanese with Italian stress pattern
Beyandos
[bay-AHN-dosh] - Slavic with strong Greek influence
Xoi
[CHOY] - Mandarin/proto-Japanese
Ryukoleos
[(r)yoo-koh-LAY-os] - Greek/Japanese
