I love you. Some people point out that what you have is very wrong. You respond for asking for pointers to learning how to correct the mistakes. Normally, we get people complaining that we didn't give them all the answers.

In short, you rock.

Only thing I wouldn't be sure is the extra ン in Sienna. Probably don't need it.

SAIMON in japanese

Simon in french!


I love how they said it would sound in japanese!

It is pronounced "SAIMON". (Consonants are pronounced more or less the same way as in English. "A" sounds like a in father, but shorter. "I" sounds like ee in meet, but shorter. "O" sounds like o in old.)

Going by the French pronunciation of Simon, your katakana is VERY wrong. It reads like the French "name" Saimon. Vowels in Japanese and French are pretty much exactly the same (well, simple vowels are).

French "Simon" is シモン (shimon) in Japanese. Japanese names should sound (at least in the vowels) very close to the originals. I believe the accent in French "Simon" is on the "o" and not the "i." If it's the other way around (with the accent on the "i" instead), then it would be シーモン. But I think I'm right, if my limited French amounts to anything. I'm going by my knowledge of names like Simone de Beauvoir

Nagoyankee is a native Japanese speaker and he also knows French, so he'd be able to confirm/deny what I've said if he ventures into this wasteland of a thread.

I have to use romanji for this: Andru => andooryu. I can't remember which I prolong. The o or the u
