In Portugal we pronounce in a different way. Elizabeth, I checked your site and one think I noticed is that the Portuguese names you have are pronounced in Portuguese from Brazil.

I recently launched a site www.howtosaythatname.com with audio links just as you have posted of how people say their names. It's part of your identity. And like another blogger http://tinyurl.com/6kxo8y recently said, it isn't about you not being able to remember or pronounce someone else's name, it's about them and showing the effort to respect their identity. As for place names (Paris and Norway/Norge come to mind), that's not as easy to control. I feel the same way — a person’s name should be pronounced how they would pronounce it.
