Comment on Should you copy a person's accent when pronouncing their name?

I will attempt to say a person’s name how they say it. If they say “call me [simple anglicized name]” then I will do that.

Most people seem to appreciate the effort. I’m sure my American vocals butcher some pronouciations, but I don’t make a big deal out of it and my work gives me a lot of chances to practice. I will always make a good faith attempt at last names.

I live in Texas and will pronounce food names of Mexican origin with a Mexican accent. Burrito, taco, chalupa.
