Oh god, please no. If there's one thing I can't stand, it's voice actors who can't be bothered to pronounce foreign names correctly. They're trained for this kind of work, there is no excuse for not even trying. There's trying and getting halfway at least, and there's giving people used to a different sound system the finger by intentionally butchering it.

Besides, I thought they pronounced Heero fine most of the time. Quatre slipped up a few times, but other than that, it sounded good to me.



PS: Most English versions of "r" are ugly, anyway. :P
