Japanese people tend to know that Western people give their names forename-first, so they'll understand if you introduce yourself as Enrique - it's more a matter of personal preference in 'normal' situations.

Kevin Mendoza: けヴぃン メンドザ - However, the ヴぃ will be pronounced as bi anyway, so you might as well go with ビ from the start.

Brendan Beck: ブレンダン ベック

While Japanese people don't much care whether you give your first name or second name at the start, it will normally follow that the first name given is the one they use.
So you need to decide whether you want to be kevinsan or mendozasan, brendansan or becksan

Hi, another new member here, this is a fantastic website very impressive indeed, i'm looking for the correct way of saying my name which is : Derek Findlay which is pronounced Der' ek Fin d lay or can be with the d bing silent like Fin lay. I would use which ever translates best.

Hope this finds you well. I'm new to studing Japanese and am having a great time. I love Anime and figured I'd learn Japanese so that I can watch the shows in native language.

I found this site which translates your name into Japanese.
http://www.japanese-name-translation.com/index.html

So if things are correct then my name should be

joe = ジョー
avelar = アヴェラー

Thank you in advance for correcting any errors. I am grateful.

cheers,
joe avelar

Wow, I never suspect, with the site previously mentioned, that my name would have '-' in it. My name is Henry Lukito, I thought it would be ヘンリ ルキト, but the site put it as ヘンリー ルーキト.

so, um, is the site translation really accurate?

Hello Henry Lukito.

I have no idea of the site is correct. I was hoping that someone with more knowledge would correct any mistakes with my name. Thank you.

cheers,
joe

Transliterating foreign names into Japanese can be rather touch and go due to the limited phonemes of Japanese.

For example, I can write my nickname Lucy as ルシor ルーシー, depending on how carefully I want to try to represent the pronunciation in English.  It just depends on how you want to write it.

Read both versions of your name aloud. Do you think your name sounds more like ヘンリ ルキトor ヘンリー ルーキト? Maybe your last name is even pronounced ルキート. *shrugs

☆★☆★☆

Joe is definitely ジョー。There's no denying the strong offglide of the "o" in this word in English, so you have to include an extended vowel.

Japanese uses ヴェ to represent "ve" in English. However, there's no "v" in Japanese, so it's okay if you write べinstead. How about アベラー for your last name?

However, if you're hispanic and want to reflect that "r" at the end of your name, you can write Avelar as アベラル or even アベラール.
