Call Me "NESHII"

'Watashi wa Neshii desu'. Hope the Japanese is correct.

Neshii instead of Nessa? Actually that's my name in Japanese! Find out your Japanese name by clicking here. Not all names can be translated to Japanese though.

This is what the name "Nessie" looks like in Japanese. They didn't have Nessa in their database.


It is pronounced "NESHII". (Consonants are pronounced more or less the same way as in English. "I" sounds like ee in meet, but shorter. "E" sounds like e in met. Double vowels like "II" are held for twice the duration of single vowels.)

  7. Ishak - Oh, that's too bad:( Perhaps you could improvise your name. I tried using 'Shak' and the site recommended using 'Chuck'. Your Japanese name is CHAKKU :D

  8. Shemah - Hiroshima?! LOL

    Shimamoto is cute la:) I tried using 'Emma' since they didn't have your name, so your Japanese name is ENMA... I prefer Shimamoto though:)

  12. I found this blog while searching for the meaning of my name, Anjii.

  14. Hi Nikki! Welcome to Mumblings :)

    I'm sori I can't help you there :( I'm not a Japanese language expert. Perhaps you should join a forum on Japan, ask the participants there.

    Thanks for dropping by!
