I also disagree, when I moved to Japan they told me to get a hanko (name stamp) for all official documents and helped me with picking it. We chose to break the meaning of my last name down to mountain river and we got 山川 out of Bergstrom which more or less means mountain river in English. What you have to be careful of is that Kanji have different meanings one set can be read different ways and order is very important.
