How do you pronounce these words: hull, multi, golf, cult, difficult, insult, milk, silk, and vanella?
Here's how I pronounce them (if I transcribed them correctly at least ) :
hull [hV5]
multi [m5lti]
golf [gA5lf]
cult [kA5lt]
difficult [dIfIko5t]
insult [InsV5t]
milk [mE5k]
silk [sI5k]
vanella [vVnE5@]
I just noticed that I pronounce "cult" and "difficult" with different vowels, and vanilla differently then some people.

That's how I hear English speakers segmenting my name, a bias for closed syllables
I mean, it's necessary to get the [ε]'s in the first two syllables of Demetris, right?

The first Anglicized pronunciation that comes to mind for "Demetris" is /dəˈmiː.tɹɪs/. Related English names (Demetrius, Demetria, Demeter) are pronounced that way.

I would expect /ˈgæːwɪθ/.
