I'm sorry, but Maori have a different way of pronouncing things. In other words, Maori phonology is not the same as the English phonology.

Let me explain each of the letter's pronunciation for you.
🔲 NG. Quoting from the link above, "/ŋ/ can come at the beginning of a word (like 'sing-along' without the "si"), which may be difficult for English speakers outside of New Zealand to manage."
🔲 AI. These two letters are pronounced as /aĭ/, which is similar to how you pronounce the word "eye".
🔲 R. Maori people pronounce the letter R with a flapped R (/ɾ/); instead of vibrating your tongue, you just flap it quickly to produce a 'quick' R sound.
🔲 Last but not least, there is the letter E. It's originally pronounced as [e] (like "eh" or "ay" in English), but after influenced by the New Zealand English, it is now pronounced similarly to [i] (like "ee" in English).

So, the final product of Ngaire's pronunciation would be /ˈŋaĭ.ɾe/ (NGIE-reh) or /ˈŋaĭ.ɾi/ (NGIE-ree). I got to admit that I take your reply to my heart, so sorry about that.
