I hope you guys don't mind me cutting in.

English names aren't that easy to translate, but it would most likely be: Julie = Juuri (sounds kinda like "jury" or "jewely" to me though...)

to Darkbear-san: yes, there's no "v"s in Japanese, but the "b"s take it's place (although when I was over there in Japan for a while they're starting to use the "v" sounds along with "l"s...). But you just about translated the name right.

Also, that "n" thing can turn into a "m" too. Though I'm having a hard time finding out just when that "n" changes.

And "kokoro" can be used, but usually it's referred to the heart-type of spirit. "Tamashii" can work too.

Sorceress-san:

sexy = sekushii (if you mean by adjectives)
geek = otaku

here's no "V" sound in Japanese, nor is there a "ti" kana. it would be
Suchiiben <-- hence: I changed the v sound into a b

Well, I'm not saying it should be in there, just mentioning that some are experimenting with the "v" sounds when I visited in Japan. It doesn't have to be written as such.

You did translate it right. I wasn't opposing it or anything.

The first one is in Roomaji format. The second is with it's respective Kanji symbols and the last one is in Hiragana.

But they're all "Blue Wind".
