But, my friend, none of these are ENGLISH WORDS, but rather PROPER NAMES.
As such, they are not subject to the constraints of either English spelling
or English pronunciation.

I guess, ultimately no-one cares how you or I or anyone else pronounces
these names, except when trying to communicate with someone who holds a
different view, and therefor does not know what you are talking about :-).
