In all of the Spanish classes i've had we *never* did this at all. I kinda felt like I missed out. But, my name doesnt get mangled much. BUT, i just asked a friend who speaks spanish what she thinks would be a good name for me, and she likes eithe Cesar, or Javier. So, i declared my pseudonym will be: Cesar Javier Jaime García. (my real middle name is James, so I kept it ;))

It's always nice when you can take a name from a language and use it for your own. In Japani could only do my name in katakana: Barii Garushia - Cesar Javier Jaime Garcia :)
