I suppose that makes sense. I didn't even consider that they might just spell it phonetically, or some sort of translation in some places. LoL! But yes, you're right... I've had a few language classes in my time, and the one thing all of them stressed with names, is that names are never translated.
And that makes me glad I'm not a video game character in the french language XD I remember my former instructor told me that in the French tonuge, my name would be pronounced something like Yad (My name is Jade, like the stone. lol). Sounds creepy, IMO, but it is what it is, I guess.
