How to write your name in Japanese

[KitsuneFr]

Normally using the katakana for foreign names, it should be: エッマ

[reihiino]

If this is correct then my name is: Kurisutii. Pretty cool

"Emma" is not traditional Japanese name.
But recently, Emma is girl's name.
in kanji,
絵舞、絵麻、笑舞、笑麻 etc etc.
in hiragana,
えま

That was close. It's エマ.

How could that be correct when it's in alphabet?

It's クリスティ.

Yes, I believed that Emma could be pronounced like Em-ma and not like Ema. As french we don't break as Em-ma but we make it longer than Ema. So I used the little "tsu". If you wanna hear, in french, that would sound like "m-ma", if you see what I mean! But thank you very much for the correction, Nagoyankee (and glad to see you again )

I think that my name in Japanese is Reon:
Edit:
Katakana: レオン
Because there isn't "l" in the Japanese language, it changes into "r" and the rest stays the same. If that's not true, please, correct me

Any particular reason you write it in hiragana?
