Chinese people having names that sound funny in English is perfectly understandable - it's a country where the majority speak little to no English, and you can't be expected to avoid names that sound silly in every one of the thousands of extant languages around the world.
However, I was a bit more surprised to see the unfortunate lady voted as having the worst name in the Netherlands a few years ago - in a country where most people speak English very well and where American TV is shown in original English all the time. She's called Fokje Modder - bearing in mind that 'Fokje' is pronounced 'Fok-ye'.

It doesn't have the comedy value of the puns listed so far, but for sheer absurdity the worst name on the planet belongs to poor old 'Talula Does The Hula From Hawaii'. She actually won a legal battle with her parents to get herself declared a ward of the state, in order that she could legally change her name against her parent's will.

Penn Jilette has a boy named Zolten, which is a terrible name IMO.
His daughters name, Moxie CrimeFighter, IS kinda cool though.
At least Zolten is a slightly misspelt real name. 'Moxie CrimeFighter'? Really?
