If someone's got an uncommon name, it's good manners to make a point of remembering how to pronounce it correctly - whether that's checking how it's spelled, or listening.

I'm surprised Saira had the restraint to stop herself from putting him right days ago. Good on her for finally bringing it up.

She didn't just 'bring it up' though, did she? She stood over him with her foot on the bed and her hand above the balloon threatening to burst it if he didn't say what she wanted to hear about how he perceived her as well as making him say her name over and over in a threatening way.
He really wanted to go to that party, and she knew it. Would she have done that to anyone else? Not a chance, Heavy is an easy target for bullies like her and Lewis.
You say it's good manners to learn how to pronounce someones name right - is it good manners to stand over someone and threaten them if they don't? Maybe that's what you would do, I certainly would not.
