big-will 7 Posted May 8, 2006 Share Posted May 8, 2006 I think I recall some talk of this way back, but does anyone (Westerners) here have their name written in kanji? Even if it's just joke kanji? Someone I know wants to make a really traditional stone hanko for me (he is insisting!), and wants to know what it should be. So some of my Japanese friends are coming up with their ideas.

bushpig 0 Posted May 14, 2006 Share Posted May 14, 2006 Miso that is just too damn funny! I'll be telling that story for a long time to come! Manuel, finding kanji for a name is about personal preference. It is just a matter of finding a combination of kanji that match the pronounciation of your name. There would be any number of combinations you could put together to make your name. Each would have a wildly different meaning. It's not as simple as just saying, "oh, this is the kanji for Bob".
