I think to an extent but sometimes it's a losing battle if the varying pronunciation is the predominantly used one of the region. I have a friend named Astrid that uses the Norwegian pronunciation of "Austri", but good luck to anyone saying it that way. She's been called Astrid the American pronunciation so often she doesn't even fight it anymore. We went on vacation together recently with my family and my dad and stepmother can't say it correctly to save their lives after a whole week. I think sometimes there's a point where you have to pick and choose your battles. I also think it depends on the individual & the circumstances you're in.
