That seems so much work, to not ask or help someone pronounce a name.
The world is globalized, it's not expected as a norm to be able to pronounce every name properly.
My name isn't in "English" and I grew up in the USA. The people whom act like you when I introduce myself and talk are the most annoying. I don't have any onus on everyone pronouncing my name properly and if they say it with English phonetics then that's acceptable because they're trying to adapt their language to my name.
That is much more polite then having this internal monologue and judging/having bias to everyone else that they're "inconsiderate."
Just ask how to pronounce if you can't, read the room and then apologize if it needs to be said.
Loosen up.
