Most (all?) countries that use non-Latin alphabets include a romanized name for these reasons.

The only problem is that often there isn't a good clearly unambiguous set of rules on how to do that. For the forms, it doesn't matter, so long as the country chooses one and sticks with it. But it can mess up the pronunciation of your name real bad.
