Try learning how the Celts and Nordic people pronounce certain sounds in their languages. By learning the basics of a language it will help you easily pronounce words if you know the building blocks of the language. You don’t have to learn their grammar, other words, or anything like that just learn their fundamental sounds and pronunciations. Once you have that down you will be able to pronounce the different deities names properly. :)
Here’s a useful link to help you.
It has native speakers giving pronunciations of words and sounds so you can listen and learn it properly. Remember there are a couple of Nordic languages as well as Celtic so I’m not sure if there are some differences between the languages under the same language family seeing as I’ve never really looked into them. But seeing as they are closely related within their language family I’m sure they have similar pronunciations though don’t count me on that since I’m not sure myself on this and just because they are under the same language family it doesn’t mean they are all closely related in terms of words and sounds.
Also try looking up information on a certain God and Goddess, look up their history, find out where and what group of people and culture they come from, and how it was originally pronounced. Once you know what group of people that deity comes from you can learn how they pronounce their sounds and do what I mentioned above. This is the best advice I can give.
