You can give yourself a Japanese name instead.

Well, I’m probably wrong, but I’d transcribe your name as

レザ・ゲゼルバシュ・アセル

But it’s kinda strange like if someone else wanna translate my name won’t be like my name in Persian or Arabic it’s like saying Reza gezelbashu Asru but I don’t have a problem with that until it seems cool

The problem is that the name is entirely based on phonetic pronounciation. So it’s important to try to find the sounds that are as close as possible to the sound in your name.

I’m sorry, as I’ve said, I might be wrong in this.
But the problem here is that in Japanese, all consonants except for ん are open, (and also R and L are not diffirentiated), so, for example, ライト can be light, right, rite…

Could you try to phonetically spell your name in English? From there, we can help with changing that into katakana

Find a famous person who uses that sound in their name (I recommend athletes or politicians). Go to their Wikipedia article. See if they have a Japanese Wikipedia article. If they do, you can see how the name is transcribed.

Be prepared for it to be different from how you’d pronounce it.

You’re making an assumption we know how to pronounce your name. That wouldn’t be the case for most people here because most of the community members are from Europe or the US.

But Japanese transliteration often sounds pretty far from the original language anyway.

This is really well done and I think as close as you’ll get. Many sounds of other languages can only be approached in Japanese but not matched, and some have to be replaced.

I would probably go with レザ・ゲゼルバシュ・アス in that case.
