Sandra, All I can suggest is to play around with unusual letter combinations, and even consider the grave accent mark or apostrophe to modify the way the sound comes out. Bear in mind that this would be done one way with Eloquence, but would be very different with some other synthesizer -- they vary quite a bit in their phoneme dictionaries.

I was trying to change its pronunciation of that name in the dictionary manager program, but couldn’t get it to pronounce it as I knew it should be pronounced. Any pointers, appreciated! Thanks!
