you 'true' japanese name is your own name written in katakana, the same way your penpal and MMM wrote it. this is how you should refer to yourself. you should not translate the meaning of your name into Japanese. That would like me calling myself 白鳩 Shirohato - dove.

EDIT: oops MMM beat me to it.

i should add there is no problem with having kanji to represent your name but this would be based on the sound of your name in japanese and not your names meaning. also you wouldn't use this name on official documents etc, you would use your katakana version of your name.
Well, I understand that, but it would be interesting to know!~ xD
