The idea that you can Google how to pronounce a name is in itself presumptuous. My name from a European country is spelled the same but pronounced differently as a name much more commonly used in South America. If you googled how to say it you would get the wrong answer. I’d rather you just butcher it in American than make assumptions about my origin.
If you want an analogue, think of Muhammad Ali. Arabic name, non-Arabic pronunciation.
That said, I certainly wouldn’t get upset at the effort. I’d assume you mean well, so no foul. It’s just not that important.
