    Yeah whatever makes reading more widely more accessible to people seems good.

    Even when I'm reading stuff originally written in English it's not like I'm paying enormous attention to names. If you're not subvocalising names are sort of start letter-end letter-length-shape tags.

    I really appreciate it when authors include dramatis personae anyway. Helps if you get busy and need to put a book down, it also means authors don't have to exposition in every new character which can kill pacing in complex stories.
