I find the same. My (English) name seems very challenging for French people to pronounce correctly. Probably because it has a diphthong in the middle that doesn’t occur in French. I’ve basically never heard a French person say it right (even my French ex-gf). It doesn’t matter. So long as people attempt some approximation and it doesn’t sound too outlandish, who cares. It’s just part of their accent.
