What's my name in Japanese? 2014/6/10 11:48
Hi! I would like to know how my name (ӍP) in Japanese Kanji would sound like :D

Tried using Google translate and it translate my name in ՍP ( Koeki Tsune ) Don't understand how it works though.

Japanese names don't always match the kanji, and the rules kinda fly out the window when it comes to names... I have some students with really ridiculous names that don't connect to the kanji at all... makes it really difficult for a non-native speaker! Hopefully one of the native speakers will pop in to help you out, but meanwhile, I like using wwwjdic for text glossing and kanji lookup. Pick a reading and make sure it sounds good together.

First thing would be, is your name a foreign one ? If so, no need to write it in Kanji, wouldn't be able to anyways :D

If it is of foreign origin, you'd use Katakana to emulate the sound of it.
My name is Rick ,and I usually stick to RIKE / P.

There are a bunch of 'name translators' around the internet for foreign names.

Hope it helps !
