There are some Japanese words that phonetically sound the same such as "biiru" which means "beer". However the flip side is that most words like that are is because of their English meanings.

As a side note there are a few names that I heard of while living in Japan that are similar in sound, but not meaning.

Japanese: Erika, Mei

Western: Erica, May

What is the phrase 'Trick or treat' when translated from English to Japanese?

Say them in English. That is how you say them in Japanese. Since Trick-or-treating is a very Western thing to do. Halloween didn't exist in Japan until Westerners brought it over so "Happy Halloween" is the same in both languages; the only difference in Japanese is it is pronounced slightly differently because not all the sounds in English exist in Japanese


How can you know your Japanese name?

If you're not Japanese, you don't have a Japanese name. Simple as. You can have your English name in Japanese Kanji and/or Katakana, with sites like this; http://japanesetranslator.co.uk/your-name-in-japanese/ You can change your name to fit. e.g. Sophie to Chie as they have the same meaning - Wisdom. But, of course, this is not your actual name in Japanese, just a name with the same meaning. Like lots of languages, the only thing about names over borders are their pronounciation. Like Axel, off Kindom Hearts 2 (Game), his name is prounounced "Akuseru" in Japanese. But it's still the same name. You can get sites, like Rum and Monkey, which change your name into similar looking Japanese names (in Romanji), but, again, this is not your Japanese name.
