What? If you would try to say my country's name in my native language instead of the English version when speaking English I would think you were a nutcase.

Similarly my given name has an English pronunciation that I prefer people use when speaking English. Someone trying to pronounce it natively without being native would feel extremely awkward and not respectful at all.
