Kodomo is child. I'd probably transliterate your first name to "jemii" so Jemii Kodoma
( ジェミー子供 ). I'm sure you'll get a variance of info depending on how each one translates it.

I assume your name in Japanese would just be your name spoken with a Japanese accent, like how my name (Jacob) is said as "Jeikobu" (hence my name).
"For a child will be born to us, a son will be given to us; and the government will rest on His shoulders; and His name will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Eternal Father, Prince of Peace." - Isaiah 9:6

Well, there's three ways to go, in my mind.

First, a more-or-less direct Japanization of your name. I think yours would come out something like this: ji-e-a-mi-i. At least according to how my Japanese teacher spelled my name-which is very similar to yours-when I took it in college.

My personal preference is to use a variation of your name that's easy to say in Japanese. For example, a Spanish form of your name is Iago. That's very easy to spell and pronounce in Japanese. I-a-go

The third way would be to translate your name's meaning into Japanese. Your name is a variant of James, which means "supplanter" (one who takes the place of another; usurper). The Japanese for supplanter is gekokushyou - げこくじょう or 下克上 in kanji.

There is also a japanese name generator, which translates it into the closest thing from your name:

Man, none of those sites have the name Corrie, spelled like that. I mean, they've got Corrine, Corey, Cory, and pretty much every other spelling, but not Corrie! ...Wonder if it's spelled the same as the others were, which was Kori. ... ... ...I suppose we'll never know. XD
