I actually consider myself to be better than average (whatever average is...) at the pronunciation and spelling of words I've never heard before but some things just baffle me. Here are a few with my not-so-webster pronunciation guides.
Hadrien Feraud: Hay-dree-in Fur-odd
Aguilar: Ah-gweh-lahr
Janek Gwizdala: Jan-eck Gwiz-dah-lah (like Quiz Dollar... kinda)
Acacia: Ah-cah-see-ah
Bergantino: Bir-gun-tee-no
Benavente: Bin-ah-vin-te
Could anyone help me out with these? Feel free to throw your own in too!

Except from HF and JG the rest of the words you`ve mentioned are Latin (either Italian or Spanish), so I guess your main challenge are those languages, not those particular "bass terms"
