japanese names

[SquareEnixGamR]

someone help me out here!! i want to change my AIM screen name to my japanese name....my real name is Jamie Childs. if anyone could find out what my japanese name is that would be awesome!

[ShiroiHikari]

well, one way to do it would be to find out what your name means....I used to have a site for this kinda thing, lemme see if I can find it again...ah here we go:

just look your name up...pretty easy to use.

Kodomo is child. I'd probably transliterate your first name to "jemii" so Jemii Kodoma
( ジェミー子供 ). I'm sure you'll get a variance of info depending on how each one translates it.

I actually found this on a CAA thread.

I assume your name in Japanese would just be your name spoken with a Japanese accent, like how my name (Jacob) is said as "Jeikobu" (hence my name).

Lol, lucky for you, mine's a tongue twister!

Well, there's three ways to go, in my mind.

First, a more-or-less direct Japanization of your name. I think yours would come out something like this: ji-e-a-mi-i. At least according to how my Japanese teacher spelled my name-which is very similar to yours-when I took it in college.

My personal preference is to use a variation of your name that's easy to say in Japanese. For example, a Spanish form of your name is Iago. That's very easy to spell and pronounce in Japanese. I-a-go

The third way would be to translate your name's meaning into Japanese. Your name is a variant of James, which means "supplanter" (one who takes the place of another; usurper). The Japanese for supplanter is gekokushyou - げこくじょう or 下克上 in kanji.

There is also a japanese name generator, which translates it into the closest thing from your name:

Man, none of those sites have the name Corrie, spelled like that. I mean, they've got Corrine, Corey, Cory, and pretty much every other spelling, but not Corrie! ...Wonder if it's spelled the same as the others were, which was Kori. ... ... ...I suppose we'll never know. XD

Went to one of those name generators just to see what is my name translated to Japanese. It said its not 100% accurate, its Uiruir Berezu. Pretty wierd Japanese name.... eh?

[SilverHeaven]

at one i could only find my first name which they said is Shuyo.
and another says nafunieru emonsu.
