Yes, and ' Fa Li' technically speaking is a wrong Chinese name. Because again, both Fa and Li are generally surnames.Just like Cho Chang is incorrect. Cho is a Korean surname and Chang is a Chinese surname.

Now while in Western Culture, while it's more common for surnames to be used as first names, the same rules aren't applicable to the Asian naming systems. You're never going to find surnames as first names.Now Hua Li or Li Hua ( Fa is the Cantonese version of Hua) is far more accurate than Fa Li. And even then it's still wrong because Hua isn't a given name. Xinhua is but not Hua by itself.

Only people unfamiliar with Chinese names would make this mistake.

And yes I'm picky about the accuracy of names because these are incorrect. It's sort of insulting to those who do their research and use accurate names.
