    Thank a bunch for the tips! Wiki is indeed a good idea. Allthough I tend to agree with Aikibujin that this kanji thing as some clever Japanese artsy profound meaning to it. As for picking the right kanji, you are right, looking up the online dictionary I see that the particle MA has three interesting options.

    間 : space; room; time; pause
    魔 : demon; devil; evil spirit; evil influence;
    真 : just; right; due (east); pure; genuine; true

    The last one is a prefix but I would tend to avoid the evil spirit one for my name!
    menstruating weasel as gotta to be the best though. ;)

    Thank again

    Thank you for the feedback guys!

    Sorry for the dubious version of こんにちは. I think I have to remove the automatic
    kanji suggestions from the Japanese keyboard I use (mac). When I hit the space bar, it
    automatically puts the kanji it thinks should be there.

    Indeed, EFT is amazing and I intend to use it to help get passed some learning blocks
    and improve learning. :)

    Other than that, I’m a big fan of 茶 (Is that the correct kanji for tea?) and it’s one of
    the many reason I’m learning Japanese along with zen buddhism, food, mangas, travel and
    just the beauty of the language.
