I can hear the American public school teacher saying, "Ok, ee-la-sed, your turn to read." Sorry. Fact is, if you want people in the US to call your child Ailasajh, you'll just have to spell it like that (or something similar).
Not everything is US-centric. This name is barely used outside of the Isle of Man and is well known there. If your kid's teacher can't pronounce it, then have them deal with it. Not every name is easy to read and pronounce in English, which this name isn't in.
Or you could simply tell the teacher how to pronounce your child's name. Sort of simple fix there. These days most people have to do that regardless. It's not a big deal. And once the children are capable of pronouncing their own names, more often than not, they are the first to tell the teachers anyway.
