Yes, I can quite clearly see how your name is written, but as someone with a commonly mispronounced last name, I wasn't going to assume how it was pronounced. It could have been "kai-lin" for all I knew.

There are a couple of ways to transliterate your name into katakana. I think

ケイリン

...looks the best.
