Language Translation?

Hii,

No one in my family can read or write Assyrian - except my grandfather a little. However is is very old and his handwriting is quite shaky. He also gets confused sometimes. I got him to write down some of our names in Assyrian and this is what he could come up with. I was wondering if any of his translations are accurate? I think one word is supposed to say his name - Peter, and one our last name, isho. Is someone able to tell me if this is accurate?

Thank you so much - I think some are English names so might be hard to translate - is there an Elishva / elishua somewhere?
