Pronunciation on Reference Sheet?

One of my references has a weird last name (and he pronounces it in a way that you would never guess). Would it be a good idea to put the pronunciation of his name on the sheet to prevent confusion?

Because it'd look dumb on your references list.
Your reference guy is a professional. He knows that people get his name wrong all the time. If he can't handle that, it's not your problem.

I was thinking of it more for the sake of the people calling. It's one of those names with too many consonants that you have to kind of think "how am I going going to say this." But he says it in a way simpler way. Perhaps you're right, it doesn't look very clean.

It's fine. I have names on my reference list that are hard to pronounce too. Never been a problem for me. A lot of times, people just receive email reference requests, too.
