Does it change the pronunciation?
I always heard it as na-roo.

I did too. I forget the other recent example I came across, but it always impresses me how incorrectly people just adopt a blatantly bastardised version of a name (people in general, not just Aussies, English-speakers, … )
Wikipedia has not changed their article name (same with Türkiye) but it has pronunciation guides. I think it’s like “Now-eh-roo” with a rolled r, but that’s just me trying to decode IPA.
