Actually, I would like to do whatever the short and long equivalents of my name are, plus my last name-Chris, Christopher and Fitch. Thanks! Chris (talk) 18:25, 17 November 2007 (UTC)

Christopher: クリストファー, Fitch: フィッチ or フィッチュ.

Thank you so much! Why the difference in the last name choices?

近鉄バッファロー.

KANA is a syllabic letter and must end with one of the five vowels of A, E, I, O or U. And when the vowel is not realized, the Kana of U vowel is to be used. But the sound of the タ column is not fixed throughout the shift of the vowels. While the consonant of チ (I) is the closest to 'ch' sound, that of ツ (U) is close to 'ts' sound. チ is apropriate here for the vowel is in harmony with that of the preceding syllable. But if you want to use Kana of U vowel, you must use 拗音 or the palatalized column of チャチュチョ. Hence チ or チュ. Kmns tsw (talk) 11:12, 19 November 2007 (UTC)

As for Kana generators, you might find [ローマ字變換] interesting. Perhaps you can reverse the algorithm.Kmns tsw (talk) 13:13, 19 November 2007 (UTC)
