Where to find an English to Japanese Kanji translator?

Question

I am trying to find what the Kanji representations of two names would be Quinton and Katie. It may be that I am not understanding the Japanese language well enough and that Kanji "symbols" only represent certain thoughts or ideas/words and not an alphabet like english (i.e. K = a certain symbol, A = a different symbol etc). If this is correct than I am trying to find a "symbol" based language that will translate or represent the names I am looking to translate.
Thanks for any help, Sean

Answer 1

I'm sorry, but western names do not have a kanji they're mostly written in katakana
here are the katakana for your names
quinton = クイントン
katie = ケイティ

it is a Japanese alphabet for foreign words and names so japanese names a mostly written in kanji or hiragana

I hope this was usefull....^^
