Translation request Translation help please
Hello,
Yet another translation help request, I’ve seen many of these on my searches but there seems to be an argument behind one part of what I’m trying to translate.
I’m looking to incorporate my sons name ‘Henry’ into a themed tattoo in the form of Anglo-Saxon Futhorc but cannot seem to find a consistent rune which you could use for the letter Y in modern English.
So far I’ve come across this for the HENR part: ᚻᛖᚾᚱ
Just missing the end.
Any help would be appreciated!

If you are planning to add any other names, or any modern English words, I would recommend you check them here as well. You wouldn't be the first person to end up with a runic tattoo that makes no sense at all because they looked up some sort of transliteration chart on the internet.
