How should I write my name in Hindi?
Initially I started to write it रेनातो, but when I use transliteration softwares (like Google's) it usually turns to रेनाटो.
According to what I know ट is a retroflex consonant whereas त is dental. In Spanish (and other Romance languages) T is a dental consonant, that's why I think my name could be written रेनातो. However I've noticed that many non-Hindi words with T on them are transliterated using ट, like मोटरसाइकिल or सिटी, the same for names, like रेनाटो.
I'm hoping someone could give me some advice on this.

write it as u pronounce, u r right abt retroflex and dental version of 't', but because in english 't' in motorcycle and city are retroflex(in hindi we say it moordhanya) only thats why it is written like मोटरसाइकिल or सिटी, in hindi we write transliterated texts as close as they are pronounced in english. As Retroflex and dental version of 't' is available in devnagari script, so there should not be any confusion regarding what to write(right nw i cant recall any english word with dental t, pardon me if i m wrong). Now, if english pronounce ur name as रनाटो then transliteration is correct, but still i will say write it as u pronounce, both are correct provided रनाटो isnt wrong :)
