please help with vowel lengths in hindi/urdu names
 
Could anyone please write the following names/words in devanagari? I need to know the vowel lengths, qualities etc. They are all from the novel Ice-Candy-Man/Cracking India by Bapsi Sidhwa, which takes place in Lahore. Thanks!

Adi (Parsi character, male)
Himat Ali
Imam Din
Ramzana
Yousaf
Papoo (dalit, female)
Muccho (dalit, female)
Bharucha (surname)
Hamida

Shalmi, Gowalmandi, Mozang Chungi (places in Lahore)

Let me try. I can't guarantee that these are correct. May be some others can confirm / correct them?

Adi (Parsi character, male) अडी
Himat Ali हिम्मत अलि
Imam Din इमाम दीन
Ramzana रमज़ाना
Yousaf युसुफ़
Papoo (dalit, female) पापू
(if it had been a little boy, it would be पप्पू)
Muccho (dalit, female) मुच्छो
Bharucha (surname) भरूच्चा
Hamida हमीदा

Shalmi, Gowalmandi, Mozang Chungi (places in Lahore)
शल्मि, गोवलमन्डि, मोज़ंग चुंगी
(I am not sure about these places in Lahore. I never heard of them)

I hope this helps.
