And really, unless you speak mandarin, there's no way you can pronounce my name right. No way. But I have an "acceptable pronunciation" for everyone else, XD. But I have met people whose name I couldn't pronounce on my first try, I memorize their spelling and learn how to say it. Basic courtesy.

Write the name down and I'll try my best to pronounce it.

People always say that when I phrase it like a challenge, lol. But there are no alphabets for the right pronunciation, so the spelling itself is misleading, and I don't know how to describe the pronunciation because there is no equivalent in english or any other languages I know. And it's not really inadequacy if you can't pronounce sounds you've never had to learned, it's to do with muscle memory, your tongue actually physically cannot produce the right sounds. You can train it to, has a certain amount of plasticity (learning capacity). Nor can you really distinguish different sounds in other languages if your language is less nuanced in that department. That's why when you learn new languages, people say you're saying it wrong but it sounds completely identical to you. And you have no idea what they're talking about. Like in the 70's show where Fez couldn't tell the difference between "ted" and "tad", I can't either.

Anyway, not sharing my name on a public forum, it's too unique, it's not going to blend in, it'll show up if I'm googled.
