I'll write down some words in English... the first letter of each word corresponds to one letter of the name you try to pronounce... just pronounce each of those first letters like you would do it in English (put them together):
m (like in my), i (like in if), ch (corresponds with the "c" of coward), e (like else), l (love), a (corresponds to the "u"-sound in "but"), n (now), g (corresponds to the "j"-sound in "john"), e (else), l (love), o (obvious - without any "u"-ending!!!). Seen how it works? Those were the letters for Michelangelo... pronouncing it in Italian.
Continuing: d (death), i (if), l (love), o (obvious - without any "u"-ending!!!), d (death), o (obvious), v (Venice), i (if), c (coward), o (obvious) -> gives "di lodovico"
b (bicycle), u (corresponds to the "ou" in "you", o (obvious), n (now), a (like the "u" in but), r (race), o (obvious), t (tomato), i (if); s (summer), i (if), m (my), o (obvious), n (now), i (if) -> buonarroti simoni.
If you're a native English speaker the biggest problems will be the ch/c, the Italian a and o (remember! o is short! like the starting "o" of obvious).
