Well, you can't "just" type tibetan on your keyboard, because their alphabet doesn't even remotely look like ours. (see en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tibetan_script) So the translation of your name will need a bit more work I think.

Debian Linux contains tibetan fonts, so if you know which unicode characters you need I can render them for you to an image.
