The following is how you pronounce the ships' names in Eve. If you're doing it another way, you're doing it wrong.
Jaguar - jag you ah (not jag waar)
Harbinger - Har bin jur (it's a soft G)
Myrmidon - mier* ma don (mier as in pier)
Abaddon - ur bad'n (not abba don)
Rokh - roak / roke (as in toke, spoke)
Bhaalgorn - Barl gorn
Machariel - Mack arr ee al
Maelstrom - Male strom
Archon - Arr kon
Chimera - Ky* meer ah (* as in eye, hard C, silent H)
Nidhoggur - Nid Hog ger (hard second G)
Huginn - Hew gin (hard G. Hew as in Jew)
Astarte - Ass start ay
Sleipnir - Slep nier (nier as in pier)
Ashimmu - ash ee moo
Cynabal - Sine ah bal (bal, not ball, almost like "bull")
Gila - Gee la (hard G)
Exequror - ex-ek curer
Scythe (siith - elongated i, as in eye, sky, fly etc. IT'S NOT SKITH-EE!!  The C is silent)
Naglfar - The closest most people can pronounce it correct is Nag-gul-far (both Gs are hard)
Kitsune - Kit soon
Arazu - Arra zoo
Charon - Keiron (as in the name, witht he "on" bit pronounced with emphasis). Keer-on.
Fenrir - Fen rear
Succubus - suck you bus
Zealot - Zel ot
Cerberus - kebber us (I've never heard anyone pronounce that correctly, even me)
Deimos - Daymos (although dye-mos is also used)
Muninn - Mew-nin (Mew as in Jew)
Iteron - It ur-on
Rhea - Rear
Oneiros - the closest I can type it as, is it sounds similar to "buena" but without the B.
Scimitar - Sim it arr (the C is silent. It's not a skimitar. People who say that are skimitards).

Af for oneiros, IIRC greek had a hard S, so no idea where you got your "uena" from.
Ah I was referring to the beginning of the word - the "os" is pronounced at the end. I just couldn't think of a way to type the sound of "uena" in the way it's pronounced in Spanish :)

Kitsune - Kit soon
i always thoguht half of caldari stuff has some sort of origin in japanese. kitsune ( 狐 )would translate into fox and i'd pronounce it kee-tsoo-neh and "stress" the first and third syllable -.-
Since it doesn't have the accented T, it is "soon" rather than "sunT", although you are correct.

I think you should state that you would be doing it wrong *if* you were trying to pronounce those names in English. In other languages they are pronounced differently! 
There are no other languages.
