I really can be somewhat of a purist with name spellings

But why should Celine be less of a valid spelling than Céline in this instance? To me, Celine is just the English (and I believe German) spelling of the name. The Portuguese, Spanish, Italian and Polish version is Celina, but I doubt anyone would think that a less valid form because it has an “a” instead of an E. If you want to go so far back, the original Roman would be something like Caelina or Caelīna. I understand believing in “correct” or “purist” spellings in some instances, like where names are specific to one culture - take the name Dáithí for example, which is uniquely Irish. Spelling it Dahee or something like that would be an “Anglicised” and less “accurate” spelling. But in the case of Romance languages there are often many variants of the same name depending on which country you are in, and I think that’s fine!

I actually know a preschool-aged Vojtech ‘Vojta’ in the US! I think it does confuse people at first but it’s an easy correction (though I might be biased because I adore his name, lol)
