Since Japanese doesn't have consonant endings (except for 'n', of course)

How do I end the name I'm trying to transcribe? Names like Eric or Robert...

How do I write an foreign name that ends with consonant?
A non-Japanese name that ends in a consonant is transcribed using the -u
kanas, and in some cases the -o or the -i. The Japanese language, being
moraic, lacks any syllable coda, as you mentioned above. The -u and -i sounds
are implicitly silent when they come at the end of a word.

So some examples would be:

Erik: エリク  
Mike: マイク  
Chris: クリス  
Ash: アッシュ  
Robert: ロバート

Notice with the last one-o is used. In general words ending in "t" use the
"to" kana.
