I'm learning how to write my name in katakana and I want to learn to do it
without using a translator. I tried making my name by looking at katakana
charts but my name being Andrew, I don't know what to do with "nd" or making
out my name.

question
katakana names
When writing out my name in katakana, what should I do with the vowels that don't exist
One would place filler vowels where impermissible clusters such as 'dr' form,
and substitute for vowels like /æ/ with their closest match, thus making
initial /ændru:/ into /andorɯ:/ or even /andorʲɯ:/, those being アンドルー and
アンドリュー, respectively. You may also find it useful to check Japanese sources
such as wikis for folk with a given name, to see whether there exists a
predominant way of transliteration.
