Name translation

It's not nearly as complex as English, but as usual we find ways to screw it up.

There's two ways I can think of, but I'm not too sure which one is better:

Christopher = Kurishitafaa = クリシタファー

Christopher = Kurisutafaa = クリスタファー

...I think the 2nd one is what you should take, in my opinion.

It depends on how it's being pronounced. Is the "a" a long or a short vowel?

Mi = mi = ミ

Phuong (I'm assuming it's pronounced "Fu-ong") = fuongu = フオング

I wonder if someone can translate my real name. Someone told me there's no "ye" in Japanese, but . . .
Well, it's Yesenia. Would anyone like to try it?

Yeah. There's no "ye", just like there's no "yi". It's either "ya", "yu", or "yo".

There are some changes, but I'm not sure at the moment.

I'll give it a try, but 芸者男の子-san would probably be better at this:

Yesenia = hesenia = ヘセニア

I was trying to fiddle around with my katakana mode on the IME Pad. イェ didn't look so good, so I just changed it to ヘ instead.

To KoYue-san: you're welcome.

I think my Japanese name is Joshu but I could be wrong. (in case you hadn't noticed my real name is Josh)
