UGHH!!!
THERE ISN'T A CHINESE SYMBOL FOR YOUR NAME!!!
ALSO, THERE ISN'T A CHINESE SYMBOL FOR ANY LETTER OF THE ALPHABET AS CHINESE ISN'T AN ALPHABET!

In Chinese, there are somewhere between 45,000 and 50,000 characters, about 10,000 of which are used regularly.

Each character stands for a word (generally, however there are some words that use 2 or 3 characters) as well as a sound. However, as there is no one Chinese language (Mandarin, Minnan, Wu, Hakka, Cantonese, Gan, Xiang, Minbei, Mindong) one cannot give a definete sound for a character without making it bound to one language.

As Mandarin is by far the most spoken of the Chinese languages, (more than 1 billion people speak it, the others all have between 15,000,000 and 200,000,000 speakers each) a "universal pronunciation" of a character might be given in Mandarin. However, in the US, most Chinese speakers speak Cantonese (an example of the difference might be seen in the words for I love you, "wo ai ni" in Mandarin and "ng oi nei" in Cantonese, or the words for Chinese person, "zhong guo ren" in Mandarin and "jung gwok yan" in Cantonese)

Theoretically, you could have your name written in Chinese characters by selecting characters which sound similar in Mandarin (or in Cantonese or another dialect if you so desire) to your name, but often you will get tricked and the characters will also have an undesireable meaning. If your name is Mary Anne, for example, a desireable name might be "mei3 li4 an1" which when the right characters are used, can mean Beautiful Power Peaceful. However, you can usually find undesirable characters as well, such as "bi1" for Bee (short for Beezus) which when the right character is used can mean "vagina", or "pei1 ta4" which can mean "embryo step-on" when the right characters are used. If you plan to get a tatoo, be very cautious and ask somebody if they can refer you to a dictionary that will tell you that. Tatoo artists with experience will often trick you as well, and sometimes people will give characters that don't even sound like your name (for example, if your name is "John" they might use "pi4" which can mean "fart" or "ass" when the right character is used)
