It seems like a lot of proper nouns don't decline in the oblique case, but some do. Here are some examples I've seen:

Pirtûka Serdar baş e.
Keçên Simko dirêj in.
Xwişka Azad kî ye?
nameya Elî

Bavê Zelalê mamoste ye.
şûşeya Eyşanê

Does anybody know why the first ones aren't "Serdarê, Simkoyê, Azadê, and Elîyê?" I can't seem to figure it out.

Ah, I figured it out. I didn't realize the last two names were feminine. I forgot that the oblique ending for masculine nouns is "î", not "ê". So, they would be "Serdarî, Simkoyî, Azadî, and Elîyî", but usually the ending is omitted in masculine. Sorry for asking a questions, then answering it myself. Haha.

You probably gave yourself a far better answer than anyone else here would have been able to do - apart from the resident Kurmanci expert Piling

I keep meaning to learn - not very easy with nobody to practise on - also I am basicly a very lazy person

So, they would be "Serdarî, Simkoyî, Azadî, and Elîyî", but usually the ending is omitted in masculine.

Exactly. Good deduction.
