[Opinions] Brîska is beautiful, but only in countries where Kurdish is spoken. m
And I really find one should prononce a name properly in one language or the other and since you can't pronounce an "î" in English because it doesn't exist in English, one should simply stay with the Kurdish pronounciation. It's not a name to be used in the US or GB, it's too difficult, I think.

That is elitist in my opinion. It really isn't difficult to pronounce the name in English, you just pronounce it the way the Kurds do. Pronunciation is not the same as accent after all. There are only a few ways people could pronounce, so they are going to eventually land on the correct pronunciation.
