I personally prefer my name to be pronounced in the style of the local language instead of them trying to pronounce it according to its "original" pronunciation (which in my case growing up with two languages and cultures basically doesn't exist anyway).
That said I think everyone should make an effort to call people by the names they prefer to be called and that include pronunciation. On the other hand, I think if you have a name that is difficult for certain speakers of certain languages to pronounce, it's kind of silly to complain about their difficulties in pronouncing your name.
