I speak English and can only say a few phrases in my family’s historical language (though, I’ve gotten some lessons from home and school on pronunciation). My surname is sometimes mistaken for a similarly spelt English one–and I don’t want to constantly get it mistaken–so would it be cringey to pronounce it in its original language?

    Footballer Thierry Henry, super famous. In French it’s “on-ray” and in English it’s “hen-ree”. In my opinion, there’s one way to pronounce that last name.
