Re: preferences?

I definitely agree, I do realise that for a lot of names what may look like the same name with a different spelling in English may seem far more different in different languages. I myself do not pronounce each example name the same. I suppose the question must be which are most aesthetically pleasing to you, and there may be a variety of different answers to that question. The "simple vs. complicated" thing is simply the language I have used, but I would definitely not consider the examples to be complicated themselves. By "complicated", I meant "longer", though I will try to be more aware of my language next time.
I do agree that English should not be the absolute standard here, however the names I have used as examples are all used in English, so again, question of appearances, but I see where your coming from and did not mean to imply that a language that is not English is other then, or that non-English names are more complicated. The words I was getting at were longer vs. shorter. and the fact that you do not think of all examples as "simple vs. complicated" is totally reasonable.
