How do you say these names?

I have been listening to different interview clips and it seems like I keep hearing differnt pronunciations of these names.

Jo Weil - Jo (exaclty as it is J O, Jo) Weil (Vial) or is it like While?  Jo While or Jo Vial.

Thore Scholerman - Thore (Tore) or is it like Tor-E...like Tori.  I think the last name is pretty clear..Sh-oler-man.

There are a bunch of interviews on youtube. The one by Giga and the one by Studio Eins.

Both of them on Giga: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RQ5wiev0qD8

 

In all of these the host says their names in the beginning of the clip.

From what I remember they say Tor-E, but the emphasis is more on the o. They also say the ö in his last name long (probably to distinguish between Schöler and Schöller).

It's Yo While

It's Yo While and Tor-eh Schölermann (there's no English equivalent sound for the ö, I guess it's somewhat similar to the vowel in 'jerk').

Thanks, Ladies.

I did watch several interviews but I couldn't tell who was getting it correct. They kept saying it different on different shows.

Thanks again.
