I'll be honest it's hard even in English to know how to pronounce things sometimes. :D So I may not have the same pronunciation as another but I always said it as following
For Vatore
Va (like "Van")
and the tore (hard "t" noise followed by "or")
For Caleb
Ca (is like "s"- "ah", the "c" is like in "ceiling")
leb (is "l" "eh" "b")
Lilith
lil (like a "lil'kid" or "lily")
ith ( like the end of "Myth" or or the "i" noise from "itch" and then an "th" noise like "there")
Hope that was helpful and not confusing :)
:o Always thought that was 'kay-lep'.
It honestly might be :#
English is my first language but I have a lot of french family/ancestry so we don't always pronounce "C" as a hard "C". Looking at a naming website I think in English it probably is Kay-leb. :) (I am assuming the "p" at the end of your comment is meant to be a "b" here :) :p )
Actually no, I wrote it the way I thought it was pronounced, so with a p at the end, like soup ;) But on second thought I think in English the b at the end of a word doesn’t sound like a p? (in mine it does)
@JoAnne65 Oh no sorry thought it was just a typo. :)
But yeah in English a b is always a b.

Where did you get the Irish thing? Pretty sure the last name is meant to be Italian (I suspect, as others, that it's a play on the Vampire Diaries characters who's last name is Salvatore). And the origin of Caleb is Hebrew.
Interestingly for me when I google Vatore it shows up as being a largely Indian surname, I had no clue it was Italian.
