Any English speaker would ask someone how to pronounce their name if they didn’t know it and would do their best to pronounce it correctly. It’s not that English speakers are ignorant of the fact that there are other languages and accents, it’s that there’s really no need for an English speaker to know every different way of pronouncing things. People just aren’t that uptight about names for the most part. It’s nice to be considerate about how to pronounce other people’s names, but I honestly think you’re being a bit uppity about this. Sorry, but an anglophone’s world doesn’t revolve around foreign name pronunciations anymore than any other person’s does.
