Say your name in hiragana

[Anheiru]

Yep! Though I'm not Spanish, I'd prefer it to pronounced アンヘイル (あんへいる)...

Since that would be considered 'the Spanish way' for the name, would I be mistaken for a Spanish person to someone I've never met (i.e. communicated with by phone/internet/mail, but never met in person)?

I take it there isn't really a proper Kanji for that pronuncation, then? Since I'm clearly not 天子, it may be insulting to claim this kanji as my name... I dunno, just trying to be careful...

I have to wonder two things:

1. Why アンヘイル instead of アンヘル?

2. Why the boldface all the time?

1. Why アンヘイル instead of アンヘル?

Only because that's how it was written on the site that translated my name for me. Is it incorrect?

2. Why the boldface all the time?

It's just the style I want to use.

Why don't you make your post really annoying and use all uppercase as well?

[Kagemaru]

WHAT WOULD BE SO ANNOYING ABOUT THAT?

How about スーパー　ドミナス?

How about スーパー ドミヌス? I don't understand why everyone keeps putting the "me" kana instead of the "nu" kana? Typo, or some specific reason?

[phreadom]

Oh... and I suppose I should give my name(s) a shot.

私は「ジャスティン・スタレスマン」です。 or 私は「フリドム」です。

Hopefully I didn't slaughter those.

(Actually this was a bit of a learning experience. It showed me a few shortcomings of the Romaji to Kana converter... I couldn't do the "ti", or the 「」 brackets or the ・. I had to go back and copy/paste them from previous posts. I suppose I could try learning how to use an IME... but I hadn't really needed to until now. Time to send an e-mail to Scott...)

I didn't realize that typing in bold font was annoying like yelling, chikara. I've never heard of that before. If it's truly insulting to do, I'm sorry.

あにかりき what's the point of this thread, although popular. Why am I even posting..

For fun and practice.

What's the harm?

If it's spoken by English accent and appears in English context, I think most likely candidate is ドミナス.

# If Dominus appears in Latin language, maybe ドミヌス would be the first candidate.

"Freedom" is usually translated into Japanese katakana as フリーダム.

ジャスティン for Justin looks pretty fine.
But スタレスマン looks a little bit awkward to me. Normally Japanese translation depends on its sound, not its spelling. But sometimes translation "partially" refers to its spelling on its vowels.

If it's Staresman (stair-Z-man), most likey candidate maybe ステアーズマン.
If it's Stalesman with its sound stay-L-ss-man, most likey candidate maybe ステールスマン.
If it's Stalesman with its sound stay-L-Z-man), most likey candidate maybe ステールズマン.
Or...

# Wow!!! it's unintentional!! I didn't know the word stale means xxxx.....Believe me, I don't mean to offend you!

Actually it's "Stressman". How does that work out? I agree with the "phreadom" spelling. Thanks.

ARGH. Stupid mistake on my part. *hangs head in shame*

I mixed up ナ and メ.

That makes a lot more sense. Sorry.
