The simplest thing to do is to ask them how they pronounce it. If it is difficult to pronounce they are sure to have been asked before and wont be offended!

If the situation is a little sticky- for example, I do announcements at my school and sometimes I have to say people's names, for different reasons, and since it is a very multi-cultural school I go to, there are some very difficult last names to pronounce!- it is hard to find a solution. What I do, when I get stuck, is 1. I tried to pronounce it like I thought it, and if I REALLY didn't know, once, I luckily had a teacher close by, and asked them what they thought (since they know better) and said it like that! If it sounds wrong, I just apologize for the mispronunciation.
