Hello,
The differences you got are a matter of transliteration. Let me explain that.
G is a letter that does not exist in Arabic. The transliteration you got from somewhere else was suggested in a way that used only real Arabic letters: K! And the name was read as: CraiK (kreyk).
Now for Sierpe's transliteration (a she, not a he ), she used that letter for G, which is used apparently in Algeria ^^. We argued about that before, as we use a different letter in Morocco for G..It's not official anyways, so everyone writes it their way, if you see what I mean.
Now with Hamoudi, he gave you the transliteration as of: Kraygh (gh like r in the French word rendez-vous).

What I suggest is writing it the standard way with K, even with the change of the prunonciation.
It's up to you

so you are saying it is my own choice bacuse they are both right, but one is using all Arabic letters and the other is using an Algerian letter, to make my name sound more like they way it is in English?

I understand your confusion
As I said, G isn't a letter that exists in Arabic, so we use a loan letter for it. (Like if you used g and added extra dots on it, for example..) But the loan letters used in Algeria aren't like the ones used elsewhere. (That doesn't mean the letter is Algerian).

so overall there is many ways it can be written since the G does not exist in Arabic, and finally what would you reconmened i used?
