Let me write your name in Japanese!

[ALynnPowers]

You are so awesome - I specifically look for your posts because they are usually very clever and funny and cute. (does that make me a stalker?)

How about Penny or my Avatar Belle

Sure!

Penny = ペニー (Penii)

Belle = ベル (Beru)

And thank you for the compliment! You are only slightly a stalker, but in a good way.
I feel so special... especially since I've never had a stalker before

...brought to you by the girl who says she's terrible at Japanese...

[Insert something about unnecessary modesty here]

You made a typo... "unnecessary" is spelled "appropriate"

There is not Japanese! This is merely writing letters of the "alphabet" in the correct order! Basic things anyone can learn (and probably look up on google translate! hahaha!)

Would you mind to make mine?
Right now on Facebook my name is in Bulgarian but I'm willing to change it

Irisu Santoru, here I come, ehehehe.

Eeep... it looks easy because all of the syllables exist in Japanese, but I'm not sure how to pronounce the first name! Are the vowels long or short?

[Himmelslicht]

It's actually Iris Santos. The syllabs go like: I-ris San-tos.
Easy? I guess?

Hahaha, Yeah, that's much better!!!

Iris = アイリス (Airisu)
Santos = サントス (Santosu)

Yours was really easy! Portuguese based I am guessing? The phonics of Portuguese (and Spanish) are really similar to Japanese, so they transfer easily.

I love the name アイリス !! So cute!!!

[Himmelslicht]

That looks awesome! Thank you!
Iris is Greek, maybe it has something to do with it xD

Oh, but there IS Japanese!

[ylisa7]

Ooh that is cool.

My turn please

Lisa

Hee Hee polite!!

Lisa can actually be a name in Japanese!!! But it's spelled Risa.

So because it's Japanese, you have lots of options.
リサ would be the "foreigner" way to write it
りさ is the exact same thing just different alphabet

Then you can get some special characters!!! My favorite!!
理沙 How special! There are other options as well, but i give you this one (most common)
That was fun!

Ooh….hear that…I'm special . As my hubby has been known to joke "you're special alright "


Thanks Alynn…that's neat. I saved it. I have a friend who went to Japan to visit his partner's family. He said he couldn't go online because he couldn't understand the key board.

[ALynnPowers]

Glad you all are enjoying!!!

[Sarah10]

My name is Sarah

[ALynnPowers]

My name is Sarah

Easy one! It's a Japanese name as well!

サラ (Sara = both a's are pronounced the same in Japanese, like an "ah" sound)
You can also write it like this: 沙蘭 (It means "fine sand orchid" hee hee)

[Sarah10]

Thanks, that's awesome That's really interesting that the meaning is different in Japanese

[ALynnPowers]

Thanks, that's awesome That's really interesting that the meaning is different in Japanese

Yeah, it's based on the meaning of the old Chinese characters.

カーラ

[ALynnPowers]

カーラ

Yay! That's absolutely right! You're so good!

It would be written like Kaara in the roman alphabet, I guess. Or Just Ka-ra.
