Hello, how would I pronounce my name, Joshua Carter as well as write it?

I'm also hoping to have a hanko made for myself if anybody could help point me in the right direction I'd be very grateful, Arigatō gozaimasu.

Joshua has these Japanese syllables; jo shu a -> ジョシュア
Carter has two long syllables; ka- & ta- -> カーター
Hope that helps.

If I were to have a hanko seal made would I just use my last name? Ka-ta-?

ジョシュアsan、エリックsan、
kon'nichiwa! :D
Perfect help from エリックsan; thank you! :flower:

We (Japanese) have hanko with family name, usually. So, I think you can have it made with your family name
only, or perhaps both. But I'm sure hanko for ジョシュア・カーター will be pretty big, like a company stamp 8)

Peter is ピーター (pi-i-ta-a). I don't think it means anything.

Miriam is ミリアム (mi-ri-a-mu).

ピーターsan, ミリアムsan, マイケルsan,
thank you very much for your help, マイケルsan! :wink:

Usually foreign names don't really have meanings in Japanese; we simply "transcribe" them phonetically :D

Sorry, I omit your last name!

Thanks for your comment, マイケル san!!
レドリー(redorii) sounds more right as you said!
But I think エヴァ (eva)is more suitable for Eva. :D
