[quote] I don't know the translation of my name in Japanese.. Can someone tell me? Well I have two 'first names': Gelie Erika (but I sometimes spell it as 'dyeli erikah' - jaz to add "flavah" hehehe).. (cute ey?! hehehehe..) I don't really know if there's a translation for Gelie, but I guess there is for Erika.. So.. Please tell me.. Thanks a lot!

I thought I'd give this a try too.

I have a Chinese name, and the character is: �� or "zhen"

My question is: In Japanese I know this translates to "Jin".... but what is the gender of that name? I'm a girl btw ^^

Jin doesn't really sound like a girl's name, I've only heard it used for guys.

Is there another pronunciation for this kanji? any help is appreciated!!!

what would be japan's pronunciation of this name?

����


'tis my korean name... i wonder if it could be directly translated and read in japanese

thanks.

It would be 'ta-e-i'

But the kanji �� is rarely used in modern Japan.

I never heard pronouncing �� as 'Jin'.
Usually, �� is pronounced 'Chin' in Japan.
And I don't think Chin has a gender.
Chin sounds more like a family name for Chinese person.

Hi evry1, my name is Sheena. Can anyone translate it in japanese for me? I think it means 'god is gracious'. Would really appreciate it. TANX!!

katakana: �V�[�i
roma-ji: Shiina

If you want to use kanji for Sheena, ���� or �ō� or �œ� will be nice I think.

How is the name Rikke translated? I know ri and ke, but what's just k??

Rikke=���b�P

The double consonant sound is indicated by the small 'tsu'.

Do you ask how to write your last name in Japanese?

Collins is �R�����Y.

For example, "Phil Collins" is "�t�B���E�R�����Y" in Japanese.

if anyone knows the translation+kanji for new house (since that's what my last name essentilly means) then i could write my name in kanji...so...help please oh masters of the japanese language which inhabit the forum

Well, You could spell it: �V�� (new) (house)
I like the pronunciation "Shin'ya", which is a real Japanese family name.

But these Kanji have many other pronunciations, particularly the following family names:
Araie
Araya
Shin'ie
Shinka
Shinke
Niiie
Niika
Niike
Niinomi
Niiya

that makes it shinya shishi XD...ok then thank you

Wow, this thread is awesome!

Hmmm... well my first name is Rina. I dunno if there is a Japanese translation. It means "peace".

If someone can post how to write Rina in Japanese, it would be greatly appreciated.

Rina is a very popular Japanese girls name. My name dictionary has about 90 different spellings for "Rina" (���).

The famous actress Uchiyama Rina spells her name: ����

That's where I got my name dictionary (Breen), but I didn't see a direct link on that page. His dictionaries are awesomely useful. I think his name dictionary is accessible via the drop down menu at the top of this page too (JDict-Names), but I have found it most convenient just to pull the entire dictionary into my editor and use regexp searches.
