wouldn't all names that start with B in norweigen or dutch be
translated with a S and Z respectivly?  So it wouldn't matter if the
last name was Black or Benson it would still start with the same
letter?  Or is that different with other languages?  I've never
researched to find that out, but it makes sense that all the names
with the same first letter in English would be translated with the
same first letter in other languages.

My Norwegian is non-existent but in Dutch, no go. Black is translated
into Zwart, and Zwarts or de Zwart is a common surname. I don't know
the answer to the original. I expect that your argument for Norwegian
also is non-valid. To me it does also not make much sense.
