I need help in getting my children's name in Chinese, as I want to get them tattoed on my body, so if someone could help that would be great!!! The names are Nathan and Emma. If you could give them to me seperately and not together, not sure how the format works, that would be great as well. Thanks alot to anyone that can help!!!

i'd suggest:

Nathan to be translated to 雷敦 (traditional Chinese characters) (for simplified Chinese characters, it's 雷敦) : 'cos the word 芬 usually used for girls' name, while 雷 means thunder, 敦實 means honest

Emma to be translated to 艾瑪 (traditional Chinese characters) (for simplified Chinese characters, it's 艾玛) is fine : 少艾 means young and handsome, 瑪瑙 means agate. Emma can also be translated to 愛瑪, 愛 means love.

hope this helps. ^_^
