What's my surname in Katakana?
My surname is Chauval and I'm not quite sure how to convert it into hiragana or katakana...would love some help :)

Question

Answer

ちゃうばる
チャウバル
茶宇羽瑠

Answer

Pick one of them
シャバル、シャヴァル、シャーバル、シャバール、シャーヴァル、シャヴァール

Answer

I recommend チャウバル for you regardless of the real pronunciation.
It is because that  that katakana expression is easily associated with the spelling of your name by the Japanese.

Answer

ahhhh good point! i forgot about my surname being pretty difficult to pronounce.

Sha-val is pretty much how you pronounce it :)

Answer

In order to answer this, try to describe how it is pronounced and then someone can attempt to approximate it in Katakana. Foreign name are always written in Katakana, by the way.
