    question

    not sure where this would go, so ill put it here - sorry if its in the wrong forum. im re-making my game with my friend and we're putting our ideas together. our characters are going to be the japanese names for our real names. does any one know a site that gives good american to japanese name translations, because all the ones ive gone to so far arent very good, or they just give the symbols.

    Re: question

    You know anything about Japanese? I can't read or understand it, but I know the basics about how letters work. One could perhaps take the English name and try to convert it close to Japanese Romanji. Take the name Matthew, for example. Perhaps that could be converted to Matiu (Mah-ti-oo).

        WTF my name in Japanese is pronounced the same in English...

        And my last name is "Quite unusual"...

            God, Jesus, and Satan aren't there either, but that was the first site I found on a Google search.

              I'm Korin, punks.
              And I did this for Junsei Koumori, so this will help for characters beyond your names. (In Junsei Koumori, and also in a story I wrote, I used virtues. For example, Kikime=honor.) Go to Babel Fish, take the word you want you use, translate it to japanese, then back to english.
              [EDIT: Never mind...I used a different site.]
