American or Italian Pronunciation of names.?

While in Italy, introducing myself, do I pronounce my name as I would in the States or should I pronounce it as the Italian would. For instance, when I go into a hotel refering to my reservation, which I will attempt in Italian.

Hi David, I think you should pronounce your name as you would in the States!
If you can speak Italian, you could speak it in a lot of other circumstances (in the pubs, markets, museums ecc...) because Italian people can't speak English very well (I'm Italian, I can confirm it... I hope my answer is understandable!!!)
Bye!
I'd like to disclose you that my Italian nickname means something like Dressed Fledged! But I'm not sure the tranlation is correct... :-)))


jen
I would pronounce you name the way you always do. I do that with my family whether it's overseas or in the States. When they come to the States they do not pronounce their name differently either.


D J
Well if you can speak Italian, then you should go for it, but if you can't well then just say it in English.

Take it from someone who has been to Italy several times. Go for the English if they speak it. If you dont try speaking italian. Many places will be nicer to you if you try to speak italian but some will find you as either an idiot or that you are ruining their language depends on who your takling to.

mayb u should try italian...so they dont think ur an arrogant american or something..lol jk..yea try 2 do the italian pronounciation...they might be nicer because they'll see ur makin an effort 2 really speak their language...

If your name is David then it's easy... just day Da-viid.... If you name is Harry then you may want to say Ery.... Many Italians speak English but may have a spot of a time understanding yous (and mine) English.
It's actually a good question because it reminds me of the problem with some of the more famous Italian names such as "Tintoretto" (pronounced "Titian" in English)... and cannot remem the others at this time. Any-who - don't worry, the Italians are cool and you won't have a "french" dilemma at all.
