Your name in Japanese!
Posted: Fri Jun 29, 2007 2:07 amHI!:D
I want to put my name in japanese on my business cards. My business cards say Ninja Nezumi in the background, but I also want to put my name in japanese next to my english name.
My name Kevin Joel Conner however has some issues.
I cannot find straight translations for Joel (meaning prophet, god's glory, etc..), and the name I found for Conner is somewhat rare as a last name (Akira).
I need to know, is my name translation look alright:
Kevin = Otokomae
Handsome/Good Looking
Conner = Akira
Akira = Intelligent | Conner = Brilliant - Knowledgeable
( I cannot find the proper Kanji for this definition of Akira. can someone please help?
there seem to be a lot of kanji for Akira, I want to make sure I have the right one )
I think the Kanji for this version of Akira is this : 明 but does this kanji fit in with a surname?
Akira Otokomae
But does anyone know a sufficient translation for Joel? Or are middle names that uncommon in Japan that I shouldn't bother with it? All of the translations for prophet that I find are GIRL names for Japanese.
