Thats kinda difficult. Technically speaking Japanese is a language where your name can have the same pronunciation but have different readings.

If you know the language the name is from, you can create a sentence in the target language and have a text-to-speech program say it. For example, 'Мария Шарапова выиграла очередной теннисный турнир.' More on reddit.com
