Wrong. Fridge Brilliance when you realize that when pronounced in German, Dr. Weil = Dr. Vile. Since we already had a character named Vile (who was Vava in japan), they had to do something to keep from confusing the characters. Thus, a name that's pronounced exactly the same, but spelled in the way another country would spell it, works really well for that purpose.
