French versions of names help?

Hi! I'm throwing a party with a French theme. I'm going to be handing out name tags with the french versions of people's names.
I'm looking for the realistic version of how their name would be pronouced in French. (ex. Amber is Ambre in French) Does anyone speak French who could help me? I'd be so thankful! I've found most, but I can't find...
Sharon
Pam
Linda
Jody
Kim
Star
Jaime
Sonja
Bree
Leslie

Even if you know a name that "sounds like", that would be great!

most of these names are really english and you cant translate them in french. but some do exist and are very well known and many french people have an american name (influence of american TV shows), but pronounced in a frenglish way.
Sharon : Sharon (shah-RONN)
Pam : (never the nickname in french, but the complete name) Pamela (pah-meh-LA)
Linda (very common in france) : leeNN-dah
Jody : (very rare) djo-DEE. a literal translation wd be Georgette... but its a name for your grand parents !
Kim : Kim (keem) sounds american.
Star : Star (french people dont like name of things, but flowers or some fruits. so this name or its translation Etoile wd be impossble in french).
Jaime : Jacques (quite 'old' : your parents) : jah-ck
Sonja : Sonia (very common) : SO-nyah
Bree : bRee (never heard in france)
Leslie : Leslie (las-LEE) quite common

so if you really want french names you can keep Linda, Sonia and Leslie, that today sound french, but you have to find others


Martinigal
A lot of these don't translate but for the sake of the party you can either spell them out phonetically, like Linda would be Lee-NDA, Jaime would be Shay-Mee, Star is Etoile as the literal translation, i don't know...


Peace on earth
These names have no French counterparts. However, you could simply put a French adjective in front of the name, such as La belle Sharon, La gentille Pam, Le gentil Jaime, La charmante Linda, La délicieuse Jody, L'amusante Kim, La belle (or Le beau if it is a boy) Star, Le gentil Jaime, La belle Sonja, Le gentil Bree (or la gentille if this is a girl) L'adorable Leslie. .

I'm afraid none of them have a French equivalent. You could try:

Charlotte - Chantale
Paule - Paulette - Pascale
Lidia - Laure
Julienne - Julie - Juliette
Camille - Camélia (names starting with a K are not of a French origin)
Etoile (translation) or Steph (short for Stéphanie)
Jeanne
Sonia
Brigitte
Louise
