How would you say my name (Bjorn) in Japan?
I've been wanting to visit or live in Japan for a while, but have had difficulty thinking of what my name would be in Japanese.
I feel like Bjorn (pronounced beorn) would be kinda odd, and from what I've heard, decently awkward for locals to pronounce. I've seen people say it would be pronounced byo-run but I'm not sure.
The most obvious answer for me is to use Kuma as its a direct translation from my Danish name - but would this be accepted as a name in Japan? Or would people think I'm weird?
