Mau is not May. Hari is a common male first name.

jahlee jail?
Jahlee is a female demon or lamia. This is her sardonic joke, just as Krait takes the name of a Hindu viper.

darjan - a dozen
chandi - fierce angry passionate
gaon - knowledge understanding knowing
ram - a negative value a debit an obligation
pehla - an ornament worn by ladies
Not sure of these, but Ram is a common male first name, after the god Rama, and it seems unlikely to me that the word would have negative connotations.
