Some others people have already answered your question, but I want to add, that it happens not very rarely. For example Harry - Гарри, Heinrich - Генрих, Hermione - Гермиона. In all this word the first song is Г [G]

Yes, it's Г Гера Гермес but not Геркулес, it's Геракл Гестия Гефест Гелиос Ганимед Геспериды Гея Геба Геката Гипнос I'm a person who's fond of Greek myth :)

Both names are pronounced with [G] sound, not [H] Same with some American/ European names
