Spelt as ريان? Then you'd pronounce it as: Rayaan.

Soufiane?
سفيان Would be: Suf-yaan

Faris?
فارس : Faa-ris

Wallaahu a'lam.

As salaamu alaykum,

I dont think it'd be pronounced as Rehan/Raihan because there's no Haa/7aa there?

And what about Faaris, is this an Arabic word ??
Yeah, I think so.

Rayan = Rai-yan or Rayyan
in arabic ريان there is a "shaddah" on "y" which reads as letter "ي" , I dont know the english word for it but it looks like this in arabic " ّ "

the rest as other said
Soufiane = Suf-yan

Hicham = He-sham

Mikaeel and Mika'il = Me-ka-eel

Faris = Fa-ris
