Thank you!
There is a way if you are already familiar with Japanese writing. You don't really "flip" it, though. I will try to explain that later.

Ke-ren カレン
Shpil-sher シュピルシャー
Mo-rag  モーラッグ
Tze-pe-le-witz  ツェペルヴィッチ
Coo-per  クーパー

With Keren, write it like:




You don't rotate the letters in any way; Just rearrange them vertically.

The horizintal bars that you see will be written vertically in vertical writing.
ー becomes I like the upper-case "I" without the little horizontal strokes at top and bottom.

The difficult part would be the smal letters that you see in the three names in the middle. I will post this now to see how the Japanese letters appear in large fonts and try to explain what I have to from there.
