Your name, in Japanese?

I doubt the accuracy of this, simply because the Japanese alphabet is not the same as the Latin alphabet. Actually, wait. There's two Japanese alphabets: Hiragana, and Katakana. You can't simply translate from English to Japanese by replacing each specific letter with a couple others, unlike Yoshese (which is totally cute, but entirely made-up, mind you).

This should be a more accurate reference:

According to this site, where my name is Daniel in English, I am Danieru in Japanese. In Kanji:

I wish those translator sites would actually provide it in copyable text form. I mean, I _do_ have the ability to display Japanese text on this computer.
 
Hm.. I thought something was fishy about this...
But hell, I'll admit that is a better site.
 
If you really want a Japanese name, you would just find a real one and stick with it instead of trying to say your English name with a Japanese accent. I'm not ashamed to admit that that's more or less how I ended up with Tets as my current internet name.

Incidentally, if I did engrish-ify my real name, I'd end up as "Biru", a rather boring sounding name which is just slightly off from "biiru" (how a Japanese person might say the word beer). So you understand why I chose Tetsuo instead (and over time shortened it to Tets, in a vain effort to appear less wapanese).

That's my first name only. I don't know my last name.

NOTE: This is in the Katakana alphabet.

EDIT: FoxBlitzz, there's actually three (or maybe 4 if you count Romaji): Hiragana, Katakana, and Kanji.
