Also American, can't see the need for this because LP supports defining
your own pitch names in an include file.
For example, I once made an include file (attached) that supports both

Dear user list,
The suggestion quoted below from the bug-lilypond list

It would not fit in German-style pitch-names, where
English speakers (at least the ones in my part of America) will say cee
or cee-natural for the note C. The latter is to emphasis that you are
not speaking of another pitch like C-sharp. In the key of D, say, some
people will say cee when they mean cee-sharp. cee-natural shows you
