Wait, it's two syllables? As in, rhymes with menace? I thought it was one syllable like... Nemss. Rhymes with second syllable of science (kind of.)
By the way, I love this thread. I always ask people how they pronounce their name when it's spell oddly and just love correcting people when they call me "Katie."

I'm pretty sure it's a single syllable.
I think one of these days I'll take all the names given here and do a pronunciation attempt video! :D

Ljuba: Loo-Bah (Lj) (to be pleasing... in the way that our Anglo-saxon forefathers would've used it in reference to say, a hot bowl of bear meat or your enemy's skull...split) (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yr5Mrj2w__g)
Apologetic: ...Uh-pol-uh-jet-ik (Apollo)
