Emma: /ˈɛmə/ (This uses the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA). Variations exist depending on accent; some might pronounce the 'a' more like 'ah' as in 'father' resulting in /ˈɛmɑː/). A more simplified, non-IPA representation could be EM-uh.
Hurley: /ˈhɜːrli/ (Again, IPA. The 'u' sound can vary; some might pronounce it closer to 'er' as in 'her', resulting in /ˈhɜːrli/ or /ˈhərli/). A simplified, non-IPA representation could be HUR-lee.
