Hi Seth,

Please be aware that Chinese is very different than English, and
while you might be able to get a phonetic translation of your names,
it might end up being something offensive or stupid in Chinese. The
odds of you getting what you think you'll be getting are pretty low.
Barefoot Sophie did a good rant on kanji and getting your name
translated into another language - it's a few posts down on the page.

Your best be would be to check out kanji sites online (search engines
are good for that) or to find a Chinese person - perhaps at your
local university.
