    Katakana

    Yeah, what does your name become in katakana?

    Some examples:

    Bursurk Lurk: Burusuruku Ruruku
    Reach: Riichu
    Zaghurim: Sagurimu

    I'm not 100% sure though. Somebody who's better at katakana please correct me :/

    Here's what katakana is if you didn't know: http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=katakana

    Mine is... laughably easy, because it's supposed to be written in katakana in the first place.


    I haven't had any official education on this, so I'm not 100% clear on the details either, but they tend to use extended "a" sounds to represent English syllables that end with an "r". Like, your name might be バザーク ラーク ("bazaaku raaku"). It's a weird word to katakana-ize, so I'm not entirely sure that's the best way to say it, but it's less awkward than the way you did it.

    The way I did it does sound a bit like "Bazuck Luck" instead, but... XD it's kind of hard when that "ur" sound doesn't exist in Japanese.

        Zaghurim might sound better starting with Za or Dza, but other than that it seems fine.

          I watched clouds awobbly from the floor o' that kayak. Souls cross ages like clouds cross skies, an' tho' a cloud's shape nor hue nor size don't stay the same, it's still a cloud an' so is a soul. Who can say where the cloud's blowed from or who the soul'll be 'morrow? Only Sonmi the east an' the west an' the compass an' the atlas, yay, only the atlas o' clouds.

            Sagurimu more like Tsagurimu or something.

            Or Zaghurimu? Whatever. Not S.

                jamuko is right for his own name and berserk lurk

                kilga is also right

                zaghurim=ザグリム zagurimu

                tokzic=トックジック tokkujikku

                my name is ギルバート but i have everyone call me ギル

                I hate being called my full name in Japanese, and hate being called shorter versions of it in English. So English speakers call me Gilbert and Japanese people call me ギル (giru). If somebody does otherwise, I tell them not to, because I hate it.
