We are English-speaking but live in a German-speaking country, some of our preferred names for DC would be pronounced differently in each language e.g. Claudia, William. How have others manage this problem? Do you have to pick a name that works in both languages, or go with your preferred choice and pronunciation and just correct people?
I do know someone here who gave their child a J-name and pronounces it the English way. Plus even English speakers with English names living in England sometimes have to clarify pronunciations so maybe it's not that big a deal!
