Amane is a woman's name it it means the sound of rain. But since rain falls from the sky, I guess that's why they translated it on that web site in that fashion.

Well, it depends on the kanji doesn't it? The kanji posted above are "ten" from "tengoku" (heaven) and "on" from "onsoku" (speed of sound, for one example). Looks like "sound of heaven" to me I hadn't seen Amane written that way yet though so I'm not really sure. But I've seen it written as �J�� though, in which the first character is rain.
Maybe you were thinking of Amane from With Love whose name meant something with rain (maybe it was the last one, sound of rain)

Actually, while I'm nihonjin, since I'm yonsei I've forgotten the kanji I learned growing up.
What I remember about names, like Amane, is just general knowledge from growing up that my relatives and Japanese school teachers taught.

japanese = ????
can anyone translate it for me?? | Actually, I believe the common practice nowadays is to leave Chinese names, as written, alone but pronounce them mostly according to their ���ǂ� (on'yomi). Of course, there are always exceptions. (For example, I believe Jackie Chan mostly goes by the pronunciation �W���b�L�[�E�`�F�� in Japan.)
Examples: - �ё� Mao Zedong, pronounced ���E�^�N�g�E�@(mou taku tou) (Chairman)
- ���ƕ� Wen Jiabao, �I���J�z�E (Premier)
- ���G Chen Shui-bian,�@�`���X�C�w�� (President)
- 蔣����/蔣��� Chiang Kai-Shek, �V���E�J���� (President)
Exceptions (many actors): - ���� Jackie Chan, pronounced and sometimes written �W���b�L�[�E�`�F�� (actor)
- ���A�^ Jet Li, �W�F�b�g�E���[ (actor)
- ����� Chow Yun-Fat, �`���E�E�����t�@ (actor)
- ����Chen Kenichi (Iron Chef)

I know how to write my name in Katakana, but I don't really want that.
My first name can mean either "powerful ruler" or "brave one".
My last name means "dove".
Can someone sugggest a name given those meanings?

Everyone, usually when just beginning Japanese study, tries to write their Western name in kanji.
Please don't. No one will be able to read it, and they will laugh behind your back.

Wow, so pleasant. You're assuming a lot there. |
It's not meant to be pleasant; it's meant to be factual. No one is going to be able to decipher whatever mechakucha kanji you decide to use for your name.
I know a fellow who wrote his western name in kanji "so it will be easier for Japanese to read." That is ridiculous beyond belief.
