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?

IMO, yes. Proper nouns should be pronounced properly. I recognize that this has implications, such as: Mazda Matsuda! But that’s what i believe.

When i had a French friend named Marion, i didn’t call them “Mare-ee-uhn”.
