Wow. Impressive. A very scientific and intellectual system.
But personally, if a name translates into another language, I prefer the old fashioned, illiterate medieval peasant method. There's nothing like people with no surnames or concept of geography trying to make sense of a new name. This internet thing makes it too easy -- like photographs instead of painting. :-)
Seriously, I have associations with names and their sound that just don't translate that well. Sorry.
