Perfectly fine until you need to talk about certain proper nouns that might be confused with regular words. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capitonym
Allow me to make my unpopular opinion all the more unpopular. English should instead have diacritics for such cases. Like, I know, it does, sort of (naïve, façade, etc.) but nobody uses them and they aren’t common enough for all the wildly exotic pronunciations of things. Use them! Add more!
