For given names of Western origin, romanize the ㄹ as r or l corresponding to its counterpart in the Western word being romanized, following rule 10 below.

방 레이첼 Pang Reich’el

Exception 3: When the pronunciation of a historically well-known person’s given name, beginning with ㄴ or ㄹ, is in conflict with the romanization rule, romanize to represent the pronunciation. If pronunciation is in doubt, refer to this reference work: 한국 민족 문화 대백과 사전. 경기도 성남시 : 한국 정신 문화 연구원, 1991.

10. Words of Western Origin

Do not give special treatment to words of Western origin. Apply the McCune-Reischauer romanization rules to words of Western origin, with exception of words beginning with the letter ㄹ. For the words beginning with the letter ㄹ, romanize the ㄹ as r or l corresponding to its counterpart in the Western word being romanized; however, when the first letter of the Western equivalent is silent, apply this rule to the next non-silent consonant.
