I know it is typical to use katakana for foreigner's names in Japan. When spelling my name out, I run something like 5 or 6 characters depending on how you want to pronounce it. (and I really don't want to use my first name in place of my last)

Is there a precedent, for the purposes of the nafuda, of using some Kanji instead? If so, does anyone know a place to look for options?
