`::Matt (with a K). Why yes, Matt, it will. In fact, a failure to respect the pronunciation of the person could be taken as creating a ``hostile environment`` and possibly subject the perp to both criminal and civil penalties. Its kinda strange you don't know this. It is neither smart nor correct to claim that since many are ignorant, that Wikipedia has to mirror their ignorance. In my opinion, the pronunciation closest to the original should be first, and common alternatives could also be included. Why should we have to choose only one to include here? There is, of course, a problem in determining which of alternative(s) to include, if there is more than one. (I'm sure you can also find (rare) examples of the individual pronouncing his/her name differently over time or to different audiences (languages, countries).) Is it Ine-stine or Aine-Schtine? (sorry, I don't/can't do IPA). Of course, another problem is that the ``correct`` pronunciation may not be within the range of the speaker's repertoire, this is common with 'foreign' names. (Several Japanese companies I've worked with have instructed their executives to adopt and use an English name when dealing with Americans, this also occurs with Chinese, to my knowledge.)    `
