I think I prefer the shortened version though.

I love the Japanese language.



The pic added goes to the ones whose ideas are in a box, to the ones who don't give respect to the one who doesn't fit in that box, stereotying one as I am. You'll soon learn your mistake in not getting the chance, because of Your Error to get to know as others have gotten to know, love, respect, and appreciate me for who I am and not for what you aim to make me.

I found there are 2 ways of expressing my name VIRGINIA in Japanese.............. one is

バージニア

and the other one is.....

ヴァージニア

Just like Victoria.... I saw there're 2 kinds of expressions too ビクトリア & ヴィクトリア

I am not laughing but that's because the Japanese people can not pronounce V sound....

I'm assuming that Sam would be サム。
Ah, the joy of having a one syllable english name, hehe.
Though I guess my full name would be サムユール。

Here's a tip. I don't know how many friggin times I've given this tip on JF, and yet people still don't take advantage of it.

1. Go to the Wikipedia page for a famous person with your name. Here is Samuel Adams, a revolutionary war statesman in the US. Samuel Adams - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

2. Click on the Japanese link to the left for him. サミュエル・アダムズ - Wikipedia

3. Check how the name is written. Here, it is サミュエル.

What is your real name? ARe you French? It gave you the French version of "Michael." It's also the English version of "MIchelle." ミシェル - Wikipedia

Yeah my name is Michelle but I don't know if I'm (part) French or not. It's also an English name, too.

Since Katakana version of my name "Daniel" ダニエル sounds more like Danielle when its pronounced I prefer to stick with just "Dan" ダン
