Don't dumb down. A man's reach should exceed his grasp, or what's a dictionary for? If you're that concerned, add a list of character names with pronunciations at the beginning or end of the story. (If you have a sprawling list of characters, like LOTR or Game of Thrones, a one- or two-sentence bio won't hurt either.)
