The names in the list are not pronounced correctly by espeak-ng when they are without accents/diacritics. For example, Mario is pronounced [maɾˈiʊ] instead of [mˈaɾjʊ]. As we know, many systems store people's names without accents due to technical reasons. Additionally, many people use their names without an accent online. The update aims to improve espeak-ng's support for these technical and cultural facts. The main reason for the addition is that speech synthesis is also used to call people waiting for healthcare by name.
The pronunciations of the added names are simple adaptations, i.e. the foreign names were "aportuguesados" (adapted to Portuguese).
