What's my name in Japanese? (make requests here!)

[Yanick]

Ok, thanks a lot.

[Trav_man]

I was taking a guess at how my name would be pronounced.
Travis Carlson
To ra bi su Ka ro so n
Close? I did my family too.
Betsy
Be te shi

Nathan
Na ta n

Zelda
Ze ra da

Ezra
E za ra

Am I close? Any correction would be appreciated? Sorry that it's not in the appropriate kana characters. I've got the japanese language support installed but it doesn't seem to be displaying the kana when I type it out.

Travis Carlson

pretty close!
ka-ru-so-n　カルソン
travis could either be pronounced as "tray-vis" or "tr-air-vis"
your katakana for travis is for the "tr-air-vis" pronunciation.
to-re-e-bi-su トレービス　is for the "tray-vis" pronunciation. you wanna hold the "eh" sound in there... (that's why the extra "e" in between)

I did my family too.
Betsy
Be te shi

be-to-shi　ベトシ

Nathan
Na ta n

ne-sa-n ネサン　for the "nay-than" pronunciation.
na-sa-n ナサン　if you wanna pronounce it as "nah-than".

Zelda
Ze ra da

ze-ru-da　ゼルダ

Ezra
E za ra

e-zu-ra　エズラ

you're very close! that's good! and i love the names in your family too!

but i think i forgot to mention abt the gender specifics. i think it's unisex, i'm not too sure. i'm basing my stand on the following,

girl's name - coz it sounds like karen, or karyn.
guy's name - there was an old manga/anime by akira toriyama (i think that's his name) who drew "dragonball". in it there is a little monk-like character whose name is very close to "kerin". in chinese, it sounds exactly like "kerin". in japanese, he wrote it as "kuririn".

so i guess either guy or girl could use that same name.

初めまして。

I like to know how to write my name Petter Ekberg (Swedish) in Japanese

Many thanks in advance.

[maxiewawa]

Hej Petter!

I think your Japanese name would be

ペター　エクバーゴ
PeTaa Ekubaago

But it's difficult to be sure without hearing your name.

[JockZon]

Hej Petter!

Du skriver det såhär:
ペ ッテル エ ークベリュ
Petteru Eekuberyu

That's what I think. Maybe: ペ ッテルエ ークベルユ Men jag gissar på den första

[ekbergsan]

Thank you for the help

How would you say spell Joshua in Katakana?
