Honestly, melogrammatic is correct. You can't convert chinese symbols into English letters. The letters stand for parts of the chinese language, so you can't just put them together to make it english. When read out loud, it won't even have syllables like 'uh liz uh bith', because the chinese language doesn't have those syllables. It could mean a completely random thing in chinese.
I can write in hebrew, and it's the same principle. You can use the letters to write a phrase that sounds like english, but it will be complete gibberish in hebrew.
I'm sorry, and I know it's not what you wanted to hear, but before anybody gets a permanant tattoo, they should know the truth.

You want to hear the truth about that stuff?
It's complete bullshit. There's no way to take chinese characters to form a lettered name. The chinese alphabet doesn't work in letters. They stand for different words/parts of words. There is no way that you can transform elizabeth into chinese, and if anyone claims they've done anything like that before, its complete, utter bull. They might try to be matching sounds, but it can never be fully correct. She could always get the name elizabeth done in a calligraphy font though. I know it's not what you're looking for, but it's an alternative.
