How can I pronuce English name correctly?

Any tips to pronunce English name correctly? I feel it is so hard to write down correctly for English name or prounce it. It drives me crazy because I take many phone calls everyday.

Sometimes they are not very obvious are they. Spelt one way and pronounced in another. The best thing would be to write down the correct spelling and then quickly make a little note for yourself of how you pronounced it.
