I'm not sure how accurate this is.

Ben = Benu, i suppose its a accent or spellnig generator not an actual style one

infact most short names you type in it just puts U on the end : /

LOL Benjamin = Benjaminu .... is it a joke or something o_O

Its accurate as if some one translated it to teir basic written language [ignoring the foreigner symbles] then translated it back

I studied Japanese for a while - a very short while - so that doesn't make me an expert or anything...

Japanese words are mostly made up of blocks of sounds (ki, ka, ko, ku etc.) a bit like syllables, rather than individual sounds like in English. You can get some sounds by themselves - vowel sounds and 'n', which if it appears at the end of a word ends up sounding more like 'm'.

The generator seems to work by analysing the letters in your name and converting those into the Japanese syllables rather than 'knowing' what your name actually sounds like.
I came out as 'Ki-ru-su-chi', when my Japanese teacher used to say my name as 'Ka-su-ti', which is closer to how its said.
