That's exactly what I'm trying to do.

And coming from a very cosmopolitan and international area I can say one thing: It's a matter of respect. If someone corrects me on the pronunciation of their name I will adhere to it. I pronounce kaht-a-REE-na as such because I've been highly influenced by people from Slavic and European countries. That is the way they pronounce their names. When I see Johanna I pronounce it yo-HAHN-a despite the fact that in my accent it would be jo-HAHN-a because it's respectful.

Names such as David/Catherine/Mary - those I'm more fluid with. I wouldn't name my daughter Naomi in this country because she would be nye-oh-me most of the time, same goes for Katarina. But I think that getting on your high horse and saying it's pompous is just wrong. It shows an utter disrespect for their culture and the way things are done. Names are personal and unless the pronunciation is completely foreign to someone's native language it should be respected. Period. As a former ESL teacher you can make damn sure that I pronounce the names of foreign countries the way that they do - because it isn't my country!
