So I've been quite curious for some time as to what my name could be in
Japanese. Here's my full name: Chaima Ben Hassen (it's Tunisian). Although i
did some research and found that it was written this way in katakana, im still
not sure if that's correct: チャイマ·ベン·ハッセン Can someone please help me? Thank you
in advance ☺️

How do I write my (foreign) name in Japanese?
You want the katakana version of your name to represent how it is pronounced.

  * If you pronounce your name _SHY-ma_ , it would be written as シャイマ.
  * If you pronounce your name _CHAI-ma_ , it would be written as チャイマ.
  * If you pronounce your name _cha-EE-ma_ , it would be written as チャイーマ.

(Here, "ch" is pronounced like in "cheese", and "ai" sounds like "eye".)

I'm pretty certain the last part, ベン・ハッセン, is correct either way. Just attach
whichever version of your first name is correct to get your full name, e.g.
シャイマ・ベン・ハッセン.
