Konnichiwa!
While trying to speak japanese I realized I have no idea how to "japanize" XD my name
my name is Audra (pronounced Odd rah in English) ?
and how can I figure out others names?
also what about items like Peeps (marshmallow puffed candy brand)?
Is the spelling similar? Or purely phonetic like pipusu? (attempt at making this sound the same) *fails* XD
*SIDE NOTE*
I was going to say "Your eyes are blue"
however I am not 100% on the translation.
I tried using google and they use 目for eyes
should I be using this instead of め or メ ?
What would be the proper translations for these? XD
I have managed to work through some sentences but still just a beginner.
arigatō gozaimashita ^^
How do you make an english word (name) Japanese?

I looked it up in http://japanesetranslator.co.uk which has a name translator
It is pronounced "OODORA". (Consonants are pronounced more or less the same way as in English. "A" sounds like a in father, but shorter. "O" sounds like o in old. Double vowels like "OO" are held for twice the duration of single vowels.)
If you look at the site it will give the katakana (I can't copy it)

Thank you for the tool ^^
haha I didn't expect my name to go from an "aw" sound to an "o" sound XD
Now I just need the other two questions answered and I am all set ^^

Konnichiwa Sheepeh-san,
_'Audra'_ would be spelled オードラ (in Katakana) and pronounced *O-O-DO-RA.*
_'Peeps'_ would be spelled ピープス (in Katakana) and pronounced *PI-I-PU-SU.*
_'Your eyes are blue'_ would be:
If written in both Hiragana and Kanji...
あなた の 目 は 青い。
If written only in Hiragana...
あなた の め は あおい。
Both are read...
*Anata no me wa aoi.*
I hope that helps!
