MMM,
Ichiro is called Ichiro, but Takashi Saito is called "Sammy".
I know many people who are called with western-styled name such as "Roger" or "Terry", I think that may be because of request by English speaker.

Sangetsu,
Using twisted kanji is good idea. Though it is difficult...

Kylegoetz,
I agree that 1-3 kanji name is natural and functional.
BTW, there is another way to make Kanji name. Some people make their name by transration of meaning.
My teacher Littlemore said to students "You can also call me Koike-san because more means pond in old English.".
