I’ve always used this idea of breaking down the hard to pronounce name and map the sound to different words with which you can easily say the hard to pronounce name.
For example: Nisha (Say “Knee+Shah)
This allows me to help those who struggle with pronouncing Indian Names. I have put this list of names and how to pronounce it.
It’s a work in progress, feel free to send suggestions/comments:
