Yeah, I think probably it's never going to get easier. If you come across somebody who knows a little about pronouncing Persian names, they'll probably get it right, but there's only so much people can manage. I doubt most native Persians would be able to accurately transcribe English and Scottish names with Farsi rules, unless they had some specific exposure.

You're right. I think some English names would be hard to be transcribed with Farsi rules. Although in my experience, most of them are easily pronounced (with a bit of accent) by native Persian speakers.
