Hey guys, is there a way to write my name, Brad, in Japanese? Thanks!

[TwistedMac]

I think it would be ブラド (burado), but that's very approximate.

[BamaFan2989]

Would that be ok to do that in Japan? Or is that like not appropriate? Thanks!


(I want some Ramen. :ramen:)

It should be fine. Just don't put "sama" at the end of it. :D

lol, my friend's name is Cameron, but is called Cam. how would you be able to tell how to write it, experience?? thanks!

Probably ブラッド buraddo

Because Japanese words don't end in 'd' 't' etc a っ is often used before the final mora in order to give a 'hard sounding end' to the word. e.g. Fred as 'フレド' has a rather weak ending compared to the English so intead they use フレッド.

Why wouldn't it be appropriate?
Its your name.

And remember not to call yourself San. That is... not good :P

I was talking about not being appropriate because I thought maybe it wasn't or right. thanks guys....

all foreign names are written in katakana. so Cam would be カーム i guess. that seems to have a claming ring to it.

A 'claming' ring, huh? :blush:

Anyway if it's pronounced the way I think it is (no guarrentee) it would be カム.
