I'm just  curious and don't know if this has been discussed.. but 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? 
I'm no expert in languages and this is purely a wild guess, but perhaps it  
has nothing to do with the letter B at all.  It might be the case that  these 
languages all had their own unique word for the color black and that is  why 
the change in this one initial.  Benson could still be Benson because  it is 
only a name and has no other meaning, where black is a color and should be  
represented by the word that means that color in the language.  Again, I  don't 
know this as a fact, its just a guess.
