question about the gentitive case...

hello to all.
I'm trying to learn the genitive case, and I was wondering how one would write "______ of (foreign name here)." I'm very new to all this, so bear with me...
----------------------------------------
**FEMININE Names:
Russian: of Юля = Юли? or Юляи?
Foreign: of Кайли(Kylie) = Кайли-?
**MASCULINE Names:
Russian: of Борис = Борися?
-->"Саша" is a masculine name; and the genitive endings for masculine nouns are "-a" and "-я"; yet "of Саша" is written "Саши", right? Why?
Foreign: of Роберт(Robert) = Роберт-?
----------------------------------------
Upfront apology for any mistakes...
THANKS FOR ANY HELP! :-)
