<<Hey, I have a question for people from English-speaking countries, if you saw my name, how would you pronounce it?>>

My first instinct would be to say it "GOR-an dimiTROVski." In XSAMPA for me that'd be ["gOr\In dImI"tr\A:vski].

How would you pronounce this name........Vintilescu (its Yugoslavian)???

The English surname "Featherstonehaulgh" is pronounced "Fanshaw."

Beat that.

Vintilescu...sounds Romanian to me

<<Vintilescu>>

In English I'd say it [vInti"lEskM] (note, /M/ is unrounded /u/, which is my normal /u/), possibly [vInI"lEskM]. Like Frances said, it sounds Romanian to me.
