Not having met any famous backgammon players in person, I have often wondered about the pronunciation of various names. Can someone please provide the pronunciations of the following names/nicknames that I culled from the Giants list?

Mochy
Natanzon
Lylloff
Trabolt
Wachtel
O'Hagan
Cohn-Geier
O'Laughlin
Grønbech
Robertie
Orlowski
Kostadinov
Senkiewicz
Magriel
Bagai

Also if you know of any other names (including your own) that people don't always pronounce correctly, please feel free to add them to this list. Thanks!
