There's nothing wrong with pronouncing borrowed words with commonly accepted sound. That's the way with Jesus, Rome, Ptolemy, Confucius, and everything else.

There's nothing wrong with pronouncing borrowed words with commonly accepted sound. That's the way with Jesus, Rome, Ptolemy, Confucius, and everything else. Even the names of native Britons don't stay faithful to the original sound: I'm pretty sure King Arthur or William Shakespeare did not pronounce their own names the same way we do now.
