Well... Many of them. Worldwide known but born in Europe. All the Finkelstins - Finkelshtains, Giorgios, Victor (H)Ugo, Kierkegaard (gore, not guard), Nietzsche, Gyorgy Lukacs (pronounced Gorge Lukas in fact it's Gjergjee Lukach) all the StalonEs, Levi Strauss (Frenchman) and Levi Strauss (German) - Stros and Shtraus, Buscemi, Kovacs (Kovach), Ivans(read as Evan not Aivan), Dvorak, Krzysztofs, Lev read as Leo etc etc etc. They had to live with "new" names.
Absolutely 100% ok with that.
In fact, I would "correct" them wrong and with a different pronunciation every time at major events, just to keep it going.

But many famous people's names have been butchered
Bravo.
