Not like that. What you posted looks like "Nohra." How do you pronounce Aseela? Japanese is phonetic, so the pronunciation matters 100%.

Thank you very much Ahh oki. That's ok, because that sounds more like how we pronounce it in Norwegian and Arabic. Aseela is pronounced as Asiilah. The s is the letter sad: Tsade - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia, but most people here just pronounce it as a normal s.

アスィーラ

Thats how I would write it. It's pronounced like (english) asee"l"a.
As always it's the "r" pronunciation of the japanese "r".

I think アシーラ is better. I always feel uncomfortable suggesting the "weird stuff" like スィ because I don't know anyone who actually talks like that in Japan. Everyone would pronoune it アシーラ, so I'd suggest writing it that way.
