Turning Japanese. Instant Asian-chic for boring English names

Found: "Mark"

This is what the name "Mark" looks like in Japanese:

"Mark" in Japanese characters

It is pronounced "MAAKU". (Consonants are pronounced more or less the same way as in English. "A" sounds like a in father, but shorter. "U" sounds like oo in hook, but with less rounding of the lips. Double vowels like "AA" are held for twice the duration of single vowels.)
