Name in japanese?

[ludakot]

Hey guys, first post for me! I'm english so I'd type my name in katakana right? I wanna make sure I'm getting this right. My name is Liam so is that ライム in japanese? Thanks!

Hey Liam, I'm fairly new here, too, but I've been studying Japanese for awhile. I was wondering if you could explain the pronounciation of your name. If it's what I think I would suggest:

ライアム or リアム

However, I'm not entirely certain.

I hope this helps.
デレック

Hey. The most common pronunciation of my name is Lee-um but i've heard people say lee-am(am as in ham) I'm guessing Riyamu is the best way to do it? Thanks for the help by the way!

[Annihilator]

It should be リアム。
