Personally, my eyes glaze over and all the pixels merge together when I see some of those names. However, the only foreign language that I dabbled in was Spanish and I am not fluent so the chances that I'm mispronounce a two-syllable name is around 50%. Each additional syllable makes it 10% more likely that I'll butcher it.
