I've just been to the NHA to submit the forms required to get a birth certificate, and the lady there had to transliterate our names from English to Arabic, so obviously it can be done. She was very specific about ensuring she got the pronunciation of the names in English correct, so she could assign the correct Arabic sounds to create the Arabic form of the name.
So I'm guessing any Arabic speaking person could write down the Arabic which sounds the same as the English pronunciation of a name. Can any Arab speakers confirm that's the case?
