Liamさん, Liam would be リアム (Riamu) in Japanese :) Zekeさん, The word for "reverend" is 牧師 (bokushi). For example, you will often see Martin Luther King referred to as キング牧師 :grin: Kathyさん, Kathlynne Camanzo = キャサリン・カマンゾ (Kyasarin Kamanzo) Joonas L.さん, Does the "j" in Jonas sound like a "j" or a "y"? That will affect the spelling in Japanese :smile: Jonas = ジョナス (Jonasu) Jonas (pronounced like a "y") = ヨナス (Yonasu) Samhitaさん,
Sa-mu-hi-ta sounds about right!

Hearing him making the sounds with his Western palette helps me bridge the way to learning how to say it like the natives. Also, out of curiosity, I am a minister, so my title is not "Mr" but "The Reverend" - is there a different honorific for that in Japanese?
