Please see: “nominative determinism”

The last name "Goto" in this case is actually read Gotou (ごとう), but romanization methods are their own flamewar. There's much less emphasis put on the "go" part than the "tou", so pronunciation doesn't actually sound anything like the English word "goto" at all.

Imagine the spanish word gato. Now elongate the "to", and change the ga to go, and you're close.
