Should you copy a person's accent when pronouncing their name? - Lemmy NSFW

For example, an English person might introduce themselves as “Bob”, whereas an American with the same name might introduce themselves as “Bahb”. (Sorry, don’t know the phonetic alphabet but hopefully you get my gist) Should you pronounce those two people’s names the same, with your own natural accent, or should you copy how the person says their own name?

From experience speaking with Americans, Bahb would get really confused because he probably can’t hear the difference between his name and Bob.

I thought this post would be about calling a French guy Pierre vs. pee-Air, even when speaking English, lol

What’s the other pronunciation besides pee-air?
