Yes. To both questions.
William, for example stays William, George gets to keep being called George.
Guillermo is the same as William Just as Jorge, gets to keep being called Jorge.

Well, they might have the same name in Spanish, but it changes. Some of the spelling rules in English are different in Spanish.
For example the name Mary is María. Jesus is Jesús. Michael is Miguel.
There are also names in English that aren't in Spanish and there are some names in Spanish that are not in English.
