don't mean to come across like a jerk but I'm sure making fun of another person's name from a different culture isn't the most PC thing to do.

I'm a white guy. Can I make fun of another white guy's name?

Dick Pound.

Yep. Real guy. World Anti-Doping Agency chief. (In the news recently because of the Lance Armstron thing. Page 2 of http://www.forbes.com/2006/05/31/armstrong...acescan06.html)
