Here’s a site that will generate your name in Japanese…or, what must be a relative approximation, perhaps. This thanks to an usual blog called Me, Myself and I.
Here’s mine:
Patricia Krakoff:
猿渡 Saruwatari (monkey on a crossing bridge) 歩 Ayumi (walk, deeper meaning: walk your own way)
Here’s the Japanese version of Denise Wakeman’s:
遠藤 Endoh (distant wisteria) 歩 Ayumi (walk, deeper meaning: walk your own way).
Which means we must be some kind of sisters…
And don’t anybody even dare to call me a monkey.
