Most of your example names only use monophthongs. You can expand the different vowel sounds available if diphthongs are also allowed. - ai, ou, au, ei, ie, etc. Other sounds are not diphthongs but are still different: - ee, oo (book), oo (zoo) And in English a single vowel followed by a consonant-vowel pair (the vowel is often E) will usually make a diphthong too: - aXe, iXe, oWe, uXe Note that depending on the exact combination this might or might not work: - **Alice** /æləs/ - **A** (monoph.), **i** (reduced) - **Eileen** /eɪliːn/, /aɪliːn/ - **Ei** (diph.), **ee** (long) - **Isabella** /ɪsəbɛlə/ - **I** (monoph.), **a** (reduced), **e** (monoph.), **a** (reduced) - **Odelia** /oʊdiːliː(j)ə/ - **O** (diph.), **e** (long), **i** (long), **a** (reduced) - **Uma** /uːmə/ - **U** (long), **a** (reduced)
