It's Spanish, right?
Than 'ju' will be changed to something quite different ;)
I think it will be gu-ri-to pi-no,
'g' like in 'good'.
And 'r' is like a very short spanish 'r', it almost sounds like 'L'.
In katakana (that's what is used for foreign words and names) it's:

Oh, alright, kana doesn't work on this wicked old pc...
Can somebody type it in katakana?

isn't the j sound in spanish more like that english h?
if so... フリト (hulito) ピノ (pino)
though the "hu" can also be written as "fu" so you'll definitely have some issues with people pronouncing your name differently than how you would pronounce it.

I don't think the Japanese hu/fu is more like to the Spanish 'j' than 'gu'.
But it's exactly like the Dutch 'g' or 'ch'. Not much use though... :)

'gurito' sounds better. 'hu/fu' is such a weak sound. :wink: Anyway, choose what you like best.

Lianさん you could use the characters that you use already for your name, and have the japanese pronunciations, or it could be リアン シュエッキ a pronunciation estimate would be rian shuu-e-ki by my guess, although I might be wrong
