Is it acceptable to provide modifications in the name that are intended to help with screenreaders pronunciation of labels?

Ex 1: <a aria-name="Shiv-awn">Siobhan</a>

Ex 2: <a aria-name="char-lot, MI">Charlotte, MI</a>

ACT Task Force conclusion: adding pronunciation help in the accname, when it differs from the visible label, would be a failure.
