Do you know what your name looks like in Japanese?

I didn’t either until I found this site. I used both Dan and Daniel. I’m not a fan of Danieru, the Japanese pronunciation for Daniel. It makes my name sound like a Pokemon.

This is what the name “Dan” looks like in Japanese:

It is pronounced “DAN”. (Consonants are pronounced more or less the same way as in English. “A” sounds like a in father, but shorter.)

This is what the name “Daniel” looks like in Japanese:

It is pronounced “DANIERU”. (Consonants are pronounced more or less the same way as in English. “A” sounds like a in father, but shorter. “I” sounds like ee in meet, but shorter. “U” sounds like oo in hook, but with less rounding of the lips. “E” sounds like e in met.)
