My friend is asking me to help them with a project that one of their foreign friends has asked
them to do. Writing a "transliteration" of his friends names in calligraphy on fans. They want it
to sound like Chinese but sound like that person's name. Apparently this guy is taking them back
to the states as gifts for his friends. I'm just going to post the names (first and last) and hope
everyone can pitch in to get decent names and since they aren't being "picked" as a probable life
long name we don't have to have it absolutely perfect. So basically 3 characters: 1 character 姓
2 for 名字 and sounds relatively like the name in English. Sorry, not to sure about the middle
names but if it makes it easier...

My deepest and greatest appreciation is yours for helping me with this and helping me score some
major points with this friend

Skylee you are the best! For the Meghan one I was wondering if there is any "gan" or "gen" that is
frequently used in females names like maybe 甘 would 美甘 be a cheesy name?

Also for Julia instead of jun is there a "ju" that works?

这好办，改姓“骆”不就得了？

郎丽妲
诺美萝 （or 罗，骆 for the 姓)
韩隽雅 or 菊雅
杜恺悌
