My school had this problem for years until they decided to just let the kids tell the announcer their name before walking so the MC would just repeat the pronunciation

Zommm! :
They let us tell the person who was saying the names how to say it. I went over it with them at least 8 times, even wrote how to pronounce it on a card. They STILL got it wrong.

My high school had the Valedictorian read the names since they knew 98% of the class. We also had pronunciation cards. The valedictorian was last, read by the principal.

To me, pronouncing someone's name correctly is a sign of respect. Those that don't try, don't care.
