    You are right. Beyond cringe even, but it would help knowing their phonology exactly of course.

    Somehow, I doubt anyone pronounces names from other ethnicities correctly, but whatever.

    My name is German and yes, it's commonly pronounced the "wrong" way, and my German friends laugh at the way I (and my entire family) pronounces it. It's just the way we learned.

    My last name gets mangled frequently - I get "Martin", "Martens", or even "Maarten" a lot.

    Whatever, I'm used to it at this point though.
