How to write your name in Japanese

[SSJup81]

I didn't need the translator since I have to write my name every week in Katakana anyway. lol

Here's my name...ウエンデイ

[EveV]

There's Evelyn.



I don't know the first thing about the Japaneses language.

So this is so exciting to me u.u

If your name is Wendy, I would write it: ウェンディ

That's how I write it on paper, the way you did it.

I would write it ジョーイ. That way it is JO-ey and not jo-EY.

Katakana spellings are about pronunciation, not about English spelling. That's a good translation for Evelyn.
