I'm not sure a name change merely in pronunciation must be necessarily large or conflicting, especially if the existing one has an obvious problem. It's essentially a "soft" change - ie, change nothing, don't even announce it publicly. Quietly put "pronounced as: " in the docs and instruct employees to start saying it differently. Not a big deal. If after a while that resolves the problem or at least sufficiently minimises it, you're done. If not, I think you have a clear go-ahead to make a big, breaking change.
