Hey Jazz ! Always great to see your posts!
I find your quote..."rules of English grammar don't apply in proper naming--they can come from anywhere in any language"...a little strange! ...lol...That means I can spell New York or my name anyway I want to ????...lol

thats right SteveO....
as far as education goes out here...
a student can spell incorrectly and still get their work marked with a "pass grade" because the new educational principal is: as long as they try and the intention is there
WTF is happening in society when a half-arsed effort can get you passing grade!
in my day content was 60% the score and correct grammar was the other 40%.

Maybe we and he have it wrong-way-about. Beiber" means "beaver" in German and maybe an Immigration Agent screwed it up. Bigger point, why stick foreign words with English grammar and spelling rules, especially names?

In my day content was 100% because good grammar was assumed. Point counter-point.

Now here's a great song on this very subject--quite the answer to those with foggy memories, the stone hypocrites and miscellaneous Troglodytes: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z-NqDtJuFtE << nifty comedy patter at the end.
There is a Western-world-wide educational crisis in full bloom--blaming the victim sure is not the answer (I specifically include the better teachers in the victim category)--our huge and growing obsession with sports and those who facilitate/ benefit are victimizers--in 23 US states, a college football coach is the highest paid state employee, in a further 13 it's a college basketball coach--anybody wanna talk about skewed priorities and the underlying lessons taught to students AND teachers?)
