I make 紅燐敦　only sound.
紅 is bright red.
燐 is Phosphorus.
敦 is thick in humanity

What is Clinton means?

Dylan is a name of Welsh decent which has several loose translations such as "of the sea," or "son of the sea," etc.

There are some variations for Kanji with the name Dylan, and some of the ones I've seen are:

1: 海: Sea
2: 嵐: Storm (as the second kanji to make up Dylan, the other being 慈, mercy/merciful).

So apparently the actual origin of my name and a few potential kanji that can make up my name both deal with water.

I dind know.But it is very interesting!
I think that 海嵐 is very beatiful!! You use kanji very well

Gimme a break, man!

How many of the 130,000,000 Japanese would read 海嵐 as "Dylan"? Do you even read it "Dylan" yourself?

[sakaeyellow]

I would translate Dylan into Kanji as:

帝嵐(ていらん, Romaji: teiran), meaning the emperor of storm

Actually, the Japanese people in the 19th century made some of the best Kanji translation in human history, though not related to human names. Examples are:

concrete 混凝土(imported to Chinese but abandoned in Japanese)
club 倶楽部
catalog 型録

All these three can translate the sound and the meaning at the same time. Isn't it crazy? But the Japanese nowadays rely solely on Katakana and the Chinese just are not as creative (I'm Chinese), it is sad that we can't see this kind of masterpiece anymore.

By the way, do you know why the Japanese call US and Russia 米(rice) and 露(dew) respectively? It's because the Japanese eat rice and the Sun evaporates morning dew. Haha. It seems that Japanese cares about Kanji more than Chinese. So when western people are learning Japanese, I think it would be unfair for them if they can't have a cool name in Kanji.

エイドリアン

is Adrian in Japanese. If anyone tells you otherwise they are pulling your leg.

I don't see the problem with creating a Kanji compound for your name for fun, as long as you understand that it isn't actually a "translation" of your name and no one will be able to read it correctly.

I'm perfectly fine with ディラン. I actually like that it looks balanced to me, in a way.
