Oh and you should tell all these persons that there’s no direct translation for any of the names they’re requesting.
There is a useful tool at http://www.mandarintools.com/ that will give you a “Translation” of your name.
And for the rest, i just wouldn’t even try some of the things you’re suggesting. They’ll come out very weird and the connotations behind them are vastly different in other cultures. Be warned.

34 – fŭ – Trust (close)
35 – měi – Beautiful
36 – pīng – Peace (correct)
37 – wēi – danger (close)
38 – a bad version of 35
39 – not a chinese symbol i can either recognize or find in a dictionary.
40 – looks like “ai” which means Love. But that is an absolutely horrid looking attempt.
41 – close, but no cigar.

Wow, not only are many of the translations wrong, but the they are written like chicken scratch. These are some of the worst I’ve seen, well not really, but pretty close.
