What is the correct pronunciation of these names?

(Alysa) Liu …

AFAIK:

Different people who transliterate their name as Liu choose to pronounce it different ways.

I could be wrong, but I believe Alysa chooses to pronounce it as Loo?​

A Chinese former student of mine with this surname pronounced it as 'Tsui' - phonetically, something rather like Tswey, at least in an Australian accent.

Although "Cui" isn't in the list, a Chinese Australian guy has done a guide to how to pronounce the Top 10 Chinese surnames:

It includes many skaters' surnames, and I for one found it very interesting.

He also makes some funny quips along the way. :biggrin:
