Break down the name to as many syllables as necessary to be pronounced in a Korean accent. For example, "Brian" would become "beu-ra-yun," spelled 브라---. "James" would be pronounced "jae-eem-seu" and written as 재임스. "Jane" would be broken down to "jae-in" or 재인.
Some names are simple enough when conjugated into Korean that very little change is made. "Jenny," for example, would be "jeh-nee" or 제니. This is also true for "Sarah," which would be "sae-ra" or 새라, or "Eric," which would turn into "eh-rik" or ---릭.
Names containing "f" or "th" sounds may be a bit more complex. You will need to substitute similar sounds for the ones that do not occur in Korean.
"Sophia" would be "so-pee-ah" and written as 소"아. This name could also be written as 소"야, should you desire to emphasize the "y" sound.
"Cathy" would be "kae-ddee," since there is no "th" sound in the Korean language. It would be written as 캐띠.
