Well, in Japanese you CAN read those characters as Yolanda actually... I wouldn't use those though.
ReplyDeleteYo-Ran-Da is a viable reading as a name but foreign names should be in katakana, not kanji!
ReplyDeleteヨランダ would be right, then.
I think I like it better as "rice field of excess discord", though.
It is ateji for yolanda in Japanese.
ReplyDelete余=>yo
乱=>ran
田=>da
