Given that (1) we don't *know* your American name, and (2) foreign names aren't
written in kanji but in katakana, I rather doubt it.

HI

As you have failed to sign one single email with your
name I doubt anyone can help at this time.

However, you will find that American names do not have
kanji equivelant for names, you will need katakana
instead.

Maybe one of our japanese speakers could give him the
nickname and kanji for 'boy with no name' lolololol

Only joking of course

Japanese approximates the "L" sound with it's "R"
sounds. My last name is "Ledbetter", and it comes out
as "Reddobettaa". However, that's how it's done. In
China, perhaps, you use kanji to write a non-Chinese
name (I have several friends who've lived in China and
have legally registered Chinese names for legal
purposes) but this is NOT the case in Japan. You can't
fit kanji to most Western names--it just doesn't work.
For "Tyler", I suppose you could take a kanji that
reads "Tai" and a kanji that reads "ra", but who KNOWS
what meaning, if any, that could have. Similiarly, you
could try "To" "Mu" "son" (the "P" would just have to
be omitted--I can't figure out how to fit it in") but
it wouldn't make any sense whatsoever.

Now, if you katakana-ized your name, it would look
like this: 繧ｿ繧､繝ｩ繝ｼ繝ｻ繝医Β繝励し繝ｼ繝ｳ縲�(Tairaa
Tomupusan)

If you wanted your name in kanji, wouldn't you be able to do so by
finding out what your American/English name means, and then using the
kanji for that word? For example, my name is Angus Haynes. Haynes is a
derivitive of the German word Hain, meaning a forest or Grove, while
Angus, as best I can tell from a quick Google search, is Gaelic for
'unique'.

So using a little creativity, as well as Tony's excellent page on
Japanese names on his 'Online Japanese Miscellany' website, I came up
with my 'samurai name' of Mori Kazumoto (Mori = forest, Kazu = first,
Moto = origin). Of course, it's not really *your name* in kanji, as you
can't really translate it back if you don't know the original name...
but hey, it's a bit of fun!

Better than Schlickbernd - the Japanese gave up and called him Bruce....

Unless your taking a name for fun, then why not use a Japanese name?

Unless your name is Woods or Forest or something along those lines ;)

I, of course, cheated. My name is Cooper, so when I wanted a kanji
stamp made for it, I asked for barrelmaker.

Baka.... hmm not sure if that would be corect... since it would be
disrespectful for one to use that term... Better to be more positive yo...

And why would someone need their name pronounced in Japanese

On that note for me,

ﾏｲｹﾙ ﾍﾞヶ would make an ugly tattoo.
