Hello, my name in English is Kaylyn Pires.
I was wondering if the correct way to say my name in Japanese was Piaasu, Keirin ?
I got this from some website or Facebook app a long time ago and copied it to my Photobucket account. I remembered a few minuets before posting this that I still had it up as a picture with some form of writing above the name and wanted to know if it was correct.

lawliet,
Your name would be Mashuu Kosume (マシュー・コスメ).

kayredmoon,
Your first name would be ケイリン (Keirin). I'm afraid I can't give you your last name unless I know how it is pronounced. How do you pronounce it?

Generally speaking Chinese names are given to the on'yomi of a particular character, however the choice to do it that way is a personal one, and unless I'm mistaken it's perfectly acceptable to go with a Japanese pronunciation if there is an appropriate reading for it. So, which do you like better? Makoto or Shuu?

Hmm when you said it like that, i really dont mind either makoto / shuu
but if i can choose for myself either using a KUN or ON reading, then perhaps i should change the "shi" part
It sounded like "dead" too me :(( (in chinese tradition we always try to avoid 'dead' reading when possible)

the "Shi" part for that kanji, so instead of using the ON reading ('shi') , i should have go with one of the KUN reading?
In wikipedia it said there is even a nazuke reading for it

On: し (shi)
Kun: ささえる (sasaeru), えだ (eda), つかえる (tsukaeru)
Nazuke: えだ (eda), なか (naka), もろ (moro), ゆた (yuta)

Perhaps go with
Shuu Eda Shin? ... or ... what? wakakakakakak i am not sure anymore how to really pronounce my name xD

In katakana, assuming I'm pronouncing things right, would be:

Aliyah → アリヤ ( a ri ya )
Nicole → 二コール ( ni ko(vowel-extended) ru )
Daniels → ダニエルズ ( da ni e ru zu )
