Your name in various languages

Man... mine sounds so weird in other languages:

Chinese:
保罗 bǎo luó

Japanese:

or

It is pronounced "POORU". (Consonants are pronounced more or less the same way as in English. "U" sounds like oo in hook, but with less rounding of the lips. "O" sounds like o in old. Double vowels like "OO" are held for twice the duration of single vowels.)

They don't have my name even when it originates from their language. What.

I think it's written toward an american audience? So if you name is vietnamese, it probably won't show there.

"Hazzy" 404'd their DB.

I knew this from Freshman Japanese.

This sounds more like Kelsey than my name....

It it just me, or does the whole "name in another language" lose its appeal when you already originate from an oriental ethnicity?
