Basically, if Templars and Mamlukes can have their real names, then there's not significant benefit in having janissaries called yeni ceri or lycans called ly kan. Just my two cents worth of nitpicking.
As Torvus says Yeni Ceri is closer to the correct name, that is why it was chosen. And Ly Kans are not werewolves in the traditional sense of a man who changes back and to, so should not be named Lycans.
