To make things more complicated, take Lucia as an example.

Her name in JP version is ルーシア・レア・レグルス Rūshia Rea Regurusu. The official translation is Lucia Leah Regulus where some of the R become L. Why not Lucia Leah Legulus or Rushia Leah Regulus? Then her child name is アーシア Āshia, if we use the same pattern for translating ルーシア into Lucia then her daughter name is Acia OR maybe the right translation is Russia so her kid is Asia?

If we don't care about the quirk that each name has, I'll choose Lucia - Asia and just break the mother-daughter name relation that the author has given. The other example is ニャンタロー Nyantarō name into English. I know that Mr. Mittens is equivalent to ニャンタロー when speaking of usage. Both of those names are used for baby-talk a cat. BUT it also misses the point why ニャンタロー is used instead of other JP cat names. By using Mr. Mittens, we breaks the connection from ダルタニャン Darutanyan to ニャンタロー Nyantarō. But hell, like the author care about that, right? I guess not.
