My perspective is on the experience of an immigrant in an English-speaking country. Greek and Russian friends give their standardised Latin-for-English transliterations everywhere and it works because there's no diacritics and no English speakers bother trying to read the Greek or Cyrillic versions. My own Romanian name being Latin alphabet with diacritics seems to get mangled in more ways, from what we've compared.
