How do you write your name in Chinese?

Just curious to see how non-chinese names translate into hanzi.

When I first started learning Chinese a few years ago I took on a Chinese name.
β€œε΄ε€©ι”β€
Not sure if many just take on a specifically different Chinese name or convert their name to characters based on sounds - but I think it’s cooler taking on a different name :))

My Chinese name meeting matches closely to the meaning of my last name β€œroot,” but there is another level. When written vertically the tree radical is above the water radical showing that the roots of the tree are nourished by water.
