I based this on the the on'yomi, since apparently those are the readings you use when you write things phonetically with Kanji, although I'm not really sure about the accuracy (I'm already breaking rules of Japanese by writing a non-Japanese name in Kanji, so I don't mind that much. Plus, I know that transliterating using Hanzi works this way for Chinese, so maybe it's the same.

I almost never wear sunscreen. I'm Indian, I have a higher tolerance to this shit.

Probably we should just write his name as it is, since it's not a Japanese name, as you said, interpretations or transliterations don't always work.

Well, I just wanted to see what would come out of it. He wanted it anyway.
Since there are multiple ways to transliterate, I wonder what else I could've written it as...

Well, if you're going by interpretations of how you see Dyakovo, there may be several ways to write his name.
I think that's what you did, you went with what you thought of him and wrote the kanji for it.

Hey, you get taught this shit in primary school, or else you moved... We don't get it forced onto us until later, when everything is all settled.
I am jealous of my girlfriend though... she speaks English and Bulgarian...
Ah, to sound Eastern European.
