will translate your first name (not family or surnames though) into various formats of Japaneses characters:-

lol Ok Bruna
I think you might have to settle for Bruce:-

or possibly Bruno
http://www.japanesetranslator.co.uk/your-name-in-japanese/temporary-items/gPoWaDsh382lgBmGTtd6znIiUH95S1r7DQWLRQKh/Bruno.png
Or because the site is a UK one contact them and ask them to add Bruna

I've spent a lifetime correcting folk who insist my name is BrunO. Now I have to start teaching the Japanese too! Dash it!
LOL
PS. John, how about 'Bru' - will they take that?

Ok I now see that the images "are stored in a temporary folder and are deleted after 24 hours."

when I now see that you said:-
" I have a busy day ahead. Have a good night! Lorne"

Very good John! I didn't really think that you missed that one. You are far too observant! ;)

Hmmm. I missed it, too. Or maybe I didn't miss it. Maybe it's stuck in my short term memory somewhere.
