Klavier - kla-VEER. It's German. There is an actual way to pronounce this, like it or not XDD
Lamiroir - I try to say la-MEER-wahr, but I usually end up saying LAM-uh-rawr. I'm from Texas D:
Gavin - GAV-in.
Machi Tobaye - ;oasijf;lkawejfl
Daryan - DARE-ee-uhn
Crescend - cre-SHEND, like crescendo.

= a-pol-lo YOOS-tis. Clearly, that's the only correct way of pronouncing it. Even 
knows that. Kidding, of course. I just love Machi's adorable broken English.
So, focusing only on the confusing ones...:
I've been calling him "kla-vee-ERR," so that the last part rhymes with "Herr." 
I thought I was onto something with that. Darn. It's going to take me a while to get used to "kla-VEER."
...Honestly, there was a point at which I didn't even bother. I was like, "Yeah, I'm about to cross-examine Lami-whatever. That singer lady." But then I started making an effort, although I never could stick with one pronunciation consistently: "lah-meer-WAH"? "lah-mee-WAHR"? "lah-mee-ROAR"? "lah-mee-roh-ah" (going by the Japanese ラミロア)? Now I'm fairly decided upon something close the first one.... "lah-mee-rwah"... keeping the word "mirror" in mind... yeah... or something...
Ma-chi To-ba-ye. It looked like something that could have come straight from the Japanese, so I pronounced it just how it looked (マチ•トバイェ). Then I see that the ACTUAL Japanese version is spelled nothing like that (マキ•トバーユ). 
So now I say "MAH-kee toh-BAI." Hope that's better... although it could also be "TOE-buy," with the emphasis on the first syllable... 
"Zak" and "Valant" definitely rhyme with "knack" and "talent" (I thought the line in the game that pointed that out was so clever -- I never would've figured out that wordplay myself -- and I appreciated its easy help with the pronunciation.) As for the troupe, though, that's the real problem... During my playthrough of the game, I thought of the troupe as "gruh-MAHR-ee" ... But then I saw that it's based on an actual word that's supposed to be pronounced "GRAM-mer-ee" (like -- this sentence has a lot of "grammar"; it's very grammary 
)....And I WILL pronounce it that way now. I truly do want to learn to pronounce everyone's name accurately -- even if AJ seems to be trying, more than any other AA game, to purposely make everyone's names ridiculously unpronounceable.

Kris-tof Gay-vin. Not a joke on his possible homosexuality, it's just the way I pronounce it.
Kla-vee-r Gay-vin. Ditto. His and Kristoph's name are easy for me, being german and all.The Band: Gay-vin-ers. I didn't get the pun until I read it was supposed to be a take on "Gewinners".
Spa-k Brush-el. The R tends to disappear or transform into an L for me.
El-doon.
Dare-e-an Cre-cend.
Woh-ki Kita-ki. I read his name was a pun on Walkey Takey, but I just can't understand how you can pronounce his name like that, if his last name is so clearly of japanese pronounciation.
E-ma Sky. Ma-tschi To-ba-ye. La-mi-ro-a-ru. Vah-lant Gra-ma-ree.
Veh-ra Mi-sham.

KRIS-tof GA-vin (with a German R) CLAY-vee-er GA-vin (I know that's not how you pronounce Klavier in German, but I just can't call him piano ... they even changed his name to Kantilen in the German version for that reason) La-mi-ro-AH (similar to the Japanese pronunciation) EM-ma MA-tchi To-BUY-ye VEE-ra MI-shum DA-ree-an CRES-cent (like crescent moon) WOK-ki Ki-TA-ki (everything with short vowels) VE-lent Gra-MUR-ye (rhyming with talent)"Herr" is pronounced similar to "hair" (but keep in mind not to roll the r at the end)
"Fräulein" is pronounced "Froi-line" (with an oi like in join)
I don't know how to describe the pronunciation of "Achtung" in English as I don't think something similar to the "ch" sound exists in English, but the second syllable is pronounced as "toong".

Klah-vee-AIR. Or Klah-VEER if I'm trying to sound more German. Luh-MEER-wahr. I had to look this one up because I had no idea how to say it. I've still got no clue how to say Thalassa. MAH-kee TOH-bah-yeh VEER-uh MISH-am (like ham) At first I said DAIR-yin or DAIRY-in, but now I say DAHR-yen CRESH-end VAL-ent Gruh-MAHR-yeh(Zak's face) SHAH-dee Eh-NIG-mar
Roh-MAIN Luh-TOOS EH-muh Skai MAG-nih-fee I try my best to say these correctly for german.
Herr - Hair, but with soft R
Fräulein - Froy-line

Not to bring this up again, but maybe you can help here... I never ever understood why the "ah" sound (like in Vera and Alita) is written as "uh" in English, because to me, the two are not alike at all. Or at least, not alike enough to be phonetic equivalents.
To me, "uh" sounds like some sort of exclamation of hesitation, doubt or insecurity like here. Just imagine the names ending with that sound. Veruh... Uh...lituh... It's just not close to "ah".

Also,since Valant is an alliteration overlord,I pronounced Gramarye as 'Grammar eye'. But grammarie works too I suppose.

Either I don't understand anymore what an alliteration is anymore, or I just don't understand what you mean, or you used the word alliteration incorrectly here...
Because as far as I am aware, there's no alliteration in either Valant "Grammar eye" nor Valant "Grammarie".

It's not necessarily a poetic thing but a literary device (there's a difference!) and it's where the consonants on the first syllable (I think?) are the same or similar. "Barry bakes berry beignets"
That's how I know an alliteration, anyway
