Japanese Name
My name is Felix in English.
In Katakana my name can be rendered as either:
フェリックス。
OR
フィリックス。
I find that my name is difficult for others to pronounce in Japanese however, which is a problem. As well as this my name cannot easily be shortened into a nickname - which is a shame as nicknames seem to be commonly used in everyday Japanese conversation.
1) Can anyone provide me with a better way to transliterate my name into Japanese? Can anyone provide me with ways to turn my name into a suitable Japanese nickname?
2) Alternatively, are there any Japanese names that I could use instead of Felix?
My name means lucky, fortunate, happy, or love - are there any traditional Japanese names with a similar meaning that I could use?
Would it be rude or unusual for a foreigner to adopt a Japanese name if their name is difficult to pronounce?
