We can't be far from text-to-speech tweaking a ton of voice acting. Might have to pronounce or IPA your custom name, to get an AI voice to nail it... but maybe it's better-off being wrong. There's disarming verisimilitude in schmaltzy NPCs confidently fumbling your character's name. Or if some characters heard it, but haven't seen it, and you catch some mutter 'so that's how it's spelled.'

Whether that name is Paarthurnax, Heloise, or Ng.

I am just picturing the orc noble who uses words incorrectly/mispronounces shit. Forgot what those are called, but they have similar characters in most of their games. In Starfield, they even called him "Dumbrosky." Dumb Bro ski.
