How would I write my name in kanji?


My name’s Ryan. I’ve been studying Japanese for a while now, and just for fun
I’d like to know what my name would be in Kanji. 来安? 雷杏? Asking a native.




Writing a foreign (Western) name in kanji for fun is not something an ordinary
native Japanese speakers would do. We just use katakana for this purpose. That
said, 来安 and 雷杏 both seem reasonable to me as a "kanji name for fun", and
neither is more correct than the other. Many other kanji can be read ライ or アン,
so there are many other possibilities. [来安 is a real place
name](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lai%27an_County) in China, and it does
look somewhat traditional. 雷杏 looks relatively more "pop" to my eyes.
