Mine's pretty easy, but many people mispronounce it.
"I," In japanese, "i" is pronounced "ee",
"so," is prounounced "suh" because of the "o"
"ya." The "a" is also different, it's prounounced ah. So "ya" is pronounced "yah"
"Sa." Again with the "a." This one's pronounced "Sah"
"ku." All the vowels are pronounced different in japanese, so "ku" is "koo"
"ra." you probably know by now what sound the "a" makes so, "ra" is "rah"
Ee-suh-yah Sah-koo-rah
So, mabye it was a bit difficult?

My first name is very simple, but people keep getting it mixed up with another (but stupid >_>) pronunciation.
A (short A - sounds like "eh")
da (sounds like "duh")
My last name is a little trickier, but it can't be as hard as Clementielle.
A (long A - can't think of a good example)
mae (pronounced like "may")
thon (the O is short, nearly silent - pronounced like "thun")
So in the end, my name is pronounced:
Eh-duh Ah-mae-thun
A (short A - sounds like "eh")
da (sounds like "duh")

Mine looks a lot more daunting than it really is I would think
Scarlett - 'Scar' as in the word, and 'lett' as it the word let.
Hvong - The 'H' up front isnt really pronounced, or only very subtly. So its really just 'vong' with a bit of a throaty 'h' beforehand, though many people wouldnt pronounce the 'h' and it wouldn't make much of a difference really.
