Well, the first word is a difficult one. According to HP Lovecraft:
"The actual sound - as nearly as human organs could imitate it or human letters record it - may be taken as something like Khlul'-hloo, with the first syllable pronounced gutturally and very thickly."
or
"The best approximation one can make is to grunt, bark, or cough the imperfectly formed syllables Cluh-Luh with the tip of the tongue firmly affixed to the roof of the mouth. That is, if one is a human being. Directions for other entities are naturally different."
I prefer kuh-THOOL-hoo, just because it's easier, and he won't hear me.
So... kuh-THOOL-hoo-s li-brar-i-an

Ugh! People are always asking me how to pronounce my username and I'm tired of it! Just sound it out! 
On an even less serious note, I have to say that I only just recently noticed that fusangite's user name is NOT "fungasite". fusangite gives you a much greater aura of respectibility, dude.
lisdexic? Mot ne!
P.S. Also, I noticed the smileys in Henry's post. Does that mean we can't say assassin? (edit: apparantly we can and Henry was just being respectful of Grandma Noah. I hereby appologize for my gratuitious use of the word "assassin" in such a manner again)

mine is really "un-English", but I'll try.

Nope, I can't think of a way. It really is the french word (and pronounciation) of the color Brown.
And, if I may,
Isn't the name Thenardier (notice the R)
I'm pretty sure that it is, at least in it's original language
