I pronounce my name based on who I'm talking to. With English speakers its one way, with speakers of my name's native language, its the appropriate pronunciation.

    I don't know why you got downvoted. My name is completely unpronouncable in Japanese (I'm from the US and have been in Japan over a decade), so it depends upon whom I'm talking to and their language ability. Most of the time, it's the close-enough Japanese approximation of my name.

    I'm pretty sure Chinese (at least HongKongers, but I think all) have an "English name" for going the other direction.
