The main reason for this is that there is no single set of standard rules in English how to pronounce things, especially not for names. Plus, this stuff varies heavily even within a single English-speaking country. For example, it is completely unpredictable if the "e" at the end of your name should be silent or not. In that respect, German is easier...
