:I like it. The only thing I'd say is that we probably shouldn't use it unless it's needed. For instance, pronouncing a name like 'Mortimer Goth' isn't as difficult as, say, '[[Derek Vijayakar]]'. Using the template on an easy-to-pronounce name seems unnecessary, as we can in general assume that most readers on the wiki will have at least a general grasp of the English language (otherwise, they'd be using a different language wiki). - '''[[User:LostInRiverview|<font color="navy">LostInRiverview</font>]]<sup> [[User_talk:LostInRiverview|<font color="green">talk</font>]] • [[User_blog:LostInRiverview|<font color="green">blog</font>]] • [[Special:Contributions/LostInRiverview|<font color="green">contribs</font>]]</sup>''' 04:48, September 6, 2015 (UTC)
::Yeah, names like "Mortimer Goth" are basically pronounced more or less how they're spelt. So I'd agree that these templates shouldn't really be used unless they're needed.
::Whereas with Sims like "Brandi LeTourneau", their names aren't pronounced quite how they're spelt. Initially I pronounced "LeTourneau" as "Lay-Tor-Neo", until I decided that since "Beau" is pronounced "Boh" or "Boe" rather than "B'u", then I would start pronouncing "LeTourneau" as "Le-tor-no". Even now I'm not entirely certain whether I'm pronouncing it right, but I'm pretty sure my pronunciation is more accurate than it was initially. ― '''[[User:C.Syde65|<font color="maroon">C.Syde</font>]]''' ([[User talk:C.Syde65|<font color="black">talk</font>]] | [[:Special:Contributions/C.Syde65|<font color="black">contribs</font>]]) 04:56, September 6, 2015 (UTC)
