The problem with the official Romaji is not that it's reliable, it's that it's hard to determine how it's pronounced. Names like Kujo have already been romanized by the artbooks and VIZ  Media, so there isn't really a problem with names like that.

JoJo 6251 actually has the same exact katakana spelling as the image you posted. The problem here is that the mad in Muhammad isn't prounced like Ma. Even spelled that way, the name still has the med sound, which is why the katakana for Ma would not work there.

Using the official encylopedia from the artbook is the only thing we really can do in order to keep it accurate. What I do think would be best is that for thoth's case, we need to determine if that image really came from Jojo- a gogo, and if it did, then we'll use that one, as gogo was released after 6251. It'd only make sense to use the name from the more updated Artbook.
