This is an interesting thread, as well as odd that anyone foreign would actually expect that their name could be written in Kanji. The only "foreigners" of Japanese coming from an English-speaking country, I could maybe see getting away with possibly writing their names in Kanji (depending on the name) are Hawaiians for obvious reasons.

One girl I know from Hawaii actually has a Kanji for her family name. She discovered that when looking into getting a hanko. I do have another friend whose last name is "White", and for fun, she got a hanko with the Kanji character for "white", and she uses it with her students to show that her last name means the same as that. Her hanko for her given name, though, is in Katakana.

That aside, everyone else, just don't bother. Foreign names of Japan is usually written in Katakana, not Kanji.

My first name means, white-skinned
My middle name means, dedication to god
My last name means, son of bride

I doubt you could turn that into a Kanji compound and the reading actually making sense. lol
