I think if you have a name that is unpronouncable in the local culture (for the most part, that means any CH sounds), you should provide an easier to pronounce nickname or alternative.

Yerachmiel could go by Yera.

I have plenty coworkers (mainly Indian) who choose an easier to pronounce name because theirs are really difficult.
