no wait, I don't know what I was thinking before, but I don't understand that.

The only thing i know about small kana is their use in syllables like kya, kyu, kyo.

Does the small kana you suggested indicate a similar method of pronunciation?

Also, what about removing "ru" to keep the syllables more consistent? I'm reminded by examples that remove the r, such as ピーター。So maybe it would be better to remove "ru" and instead make the a a long vowel?

Sp3ctre18さん,
It would be okay to either use ル or make it into a long vowel. The latter might even be closer to the original pronunciation :)

supraznさん,
Your first name would be マーク (maa-ku), but without knowing the pronunication of your middle and last name it's hard to say how they'd be said in Japanese. Could you let us know how to pronouonce your name?

Mine is:

E-RU-A-RO GO-N-SA-RO-SU

Unfortunately, my keyboard input is only US English, but it's already romanicised

i pronounce Joed as Joe - Ed

and my surname Encarnacion is EN - CAR - NA - SION (the "nacion" bit would sound like nation as in "nationality")

loveassassin13さん,

Jake = ジェイク (Jeiku)

I'm not sure how to write Livak without the correct pronunciation. If it is "lee-vahk", then it is リバック. If it's pronounced differently, let me know!


denkikoijiさん,
What are the long words you included under everyone's names? Just curious.

Does "vak" rhyme with "back" or "rock"? Either way, I think it would still be リバック (ribakku) :lol:
