1. no-elle
2. sorry, but, ew, neither. eh-free-eem, or something like that. Maybe like eh-free-im, not sure. I don't care if it's the correct pron. or not, it's the only one I think is anything short of hideous, and the only one I've used and liked.
3. keer-a. I don't accept the latter as a genuine pron. If you want that, use Siara, Siera, Ceara or whatever. Ciara is an Irish name and not said like that. Ciar is not see-ar, and Ciaran is not see-ar-an/seer-an, so there's only one logical pron. of Ciara for me.
4. lu-chee-ah or lu-tse-ah, I've only ever heard Lucia said one of those two ways. I think they're both kind of nice. I don't like Lu-see-uh and lu-sha is awful, so, I have to pick a third choice once again.
Sorry for being harsh! I'm not trying to be mean, promise.
