>At last, it seems to me that the people who care the most about this issue are monolingual.
I had someone asking for a way to identify 'gender from the names of overseas customers'[1] on my problem validation platform. At a glance it seems like a similar problem and there could be some who doubt the veracity of the problem. Then there were several business solutions posted for that problem.
The same people who wanted to know the gender could probably also benefit from knowing how to pronounce the name if they ever get on a call or meet the person.
