Katakana Names 1

Twenty Katakana versions of non-Japanese names. I did not seperate female and male names because a lot names can be unisex and I'm not going to try to figure out how to divide them. I gave the most common spellings of the names but your name is spelled differently, it's probably still correct. For example: I gave Christina as the translation but if your name is Cristina or Kristina, it will still work. The names are translated using my knowledge of Japanese and also known/common ways of spelling. The Romaji is in the parenthesis.

*The pronunciation of this form is Jaime is that of the Spanish male form. Pronounced like High-May in English.
**Abraham is spelled like Aburahamu in the Japanese translations of the Bible. However a more modern translation is Eiburahamu. Both are fine to use.
***"V" in Japanese is usually subsituted with "B" such as Video becomes Bideo in Japanese. However in recent years, the characters for V have gained popularity and either will suffice.
