Contrary to popular belief, there's no T in Leibniz
So the relevant quote is wrong in that regard.

While I'm certain you guys have better to do than correcting this - I find it's worth mentioning.

There is in English!!!
The 'standard' transliteration of a German 'z' is 'tz'.

In english the 'z' sound is like a bee buzzing. So Liebniz ends in a kind of silly 's' sound. Not very german sounding

Mein Führer! I can walk!

Well, I didn't know that. What about French names? I'm certain they don't get adopted to English pronunciation?

It's a n issue for Apolyton/Communism. There's a post-post quote that contains that name.
