For the Crazy Weekend

Check your name in Japanese
Use these for reference:
A- ho * B- tu * C- mi * D- te * E- ku * F- lu * G- ji
H- ri * I- ki * J- zu * K- me * L- ta * M- min *
N- to O-mo * P- no * Q- ke * R- shi * S- ari * T-chi U- do *
V- ru * W-mei * X- na * Y- fu * Z- zi

I came across the above forward that was doing the rounds and wanted to check if the above really made sensible names.

Britney Spears - Tushikichitokufu Arinokuhoshiari

Oh my God; if Britney was Japanese would she be the most searched word on the Internet.
The Top 10 searches carried out in the UK and Ireland via Yahoo! Search in 2006 were:
1. Britney Spears
2. Heather Mills-McCartney
3. Pete Burns
4. Big Brother
5. The Ordinary Boys
6. World Cup
7. Steve Irwin
8. Borat
9. Notting Hill Carnival
10. Zindane

Now lets try a few Japanese names instead and see what kind of english names (or letters) do they make.

Leo (Sa)n - Takumo Sato
Inamoto - (Ina)on
Nay, they definitely don't sound right.

I then tried the famous Chinese and here came the result:
Ho Chi Min - A T M
Aha, there goes the three letters than make the fairer smile wider.
