  1. ヒーシャム

    Hiishamu if your Hi is like Hea in Heat.

    ヒシャム

    Hishamu if your Hi is like Hih like in Hit.

    Also sometimes when names end in M (like Bambi becomes Banbi), they are translated to N. So Hiishan (ヒーシャン) and Hishan (ヒシャン) could also work.

    And no, there's not. Direct translation wouldn't work for your name.

    ie Matsumoto goes Ma-Tsu-Mo-To and can be spelled in Japanese characters.

    The Japanese translation of your name can't be used that way.


  2. He-sham like American words? Got ya

    ヒーシャム

    This is called katakana, because you have a foreign name.

    I looked through my kanji book to pick out kanji for you.

    秘写夢

    Japanese names are typically two kanji, but three is okay.  It means, "Secret copy dream." which is pretty mysterious. I like it. Usually foreigners don't have kanji, though.
