the thing is there are so many characters with the same sound. so there are a lot of combinations that can be put together for your name. i could be here for hours listing combinations. find a good kanji dictionary and look up the sounds of your katakana yourself.

I was given my kanji for my given name by my host family and chose the kanji for my family name myself but i don't use it anywhere where my name is required, for all the time i spent in Japan i never used the kanji version and i won't when i return in a few months.

unfortunately with my name there are not so many combinations available that carry a good meaning (in the mind of japanese)

good luck finding nice kanji to represent your name.
