Name in kanji

[yukikosan]

Hello!

I'm new here!
I was on another board before but couldn't get any answers..

I'm looking for a way to write my name in Kanji, so I've come up with this, and I would like you to tell me how would you pronounce it...

友気

thank you!

I don't get this. You don't know how your own name is pronounced?

The only way Japanese native speakers would read 友気 is ゆうき. Any other way would be unnatural. If I may add, 友気 looks pretty strange. 気 is rarely used in names if ever.

LOL of course I know how to pronounce my own name LOL

But I am not japanese, and I wanted to find a nice way to write my name in kanji..

My name is Yuki, but with the "yuki" kanji, I'm not sure.. I HATE SNOW! lol
So I was looking for others kanji that, when pronounced, sounds like "yuki" (or yuuki here)..

that's the story

And why this one -> 気 is rarely used in names?
It has a awesome signification ! (if I am right... isn't it the spirit/mind/nature/heart ?)

Because it would be read as yuuki not yuki? It's like the difference between stephen and steven, or the difference between two, to and too. They all might sound the same but they're not the same word. Also, if your name is really is Yuki, wouldn't it be more important what your parents had in mind when they named you, rather than what you want? ^^; I wasn't ever able to rename myself just because I didn't used to like what my parents named me.

[yukikosan]

My parents didn't name me that way..

I did... I renamed myself because I wasn't able to live with the name my parents gave me in the first place... but I didn't know back then that Yuki meant snow LOL ...

I just been told that 友気 would sound "odd" but would work..

I don't know that it really "works".. like in what capacity.. like.. japanese people can look at it and maybe say "yuuki" when they see it? Because as far as I know 友気 is not a word, nor has it ever been written like that for a name. So I would say that it is in fact awkward. You probably should stick to the lists that I found for you. Maybe considering you are not Japanese it might be ok... But who, or what is this for? Are you going to start signing your name like this or something?

[yukikosan]

Well I will look at the list to see the meaning of each kanji, but I've already done that before...

Well it is for me, I don't know if I'm gonna sign that way, I just wanted to find a way that suits me to write my name in kanji!
I have the "chance" to decide how i'm gonna write it, I want something nice
