Well, the one you posted here is probably the way I would have translated your name.
This one is pronounced as "toobee". I know that in your name, the vowels are rather short than long. But in Arabic, only the long vowels are written. There is a way to write short vowels, but we do not use it much. Thus, if we would right your name with the shorts vowels, we would only see "tb" and people could not know how to pronouned it... If I'm too vague in my explanations, let me know.

For answering the other post, it is Medjri you should thank..
Your name is pronounced as I thought. Thus, the best way would be as Medjri gave you and as it is written above. There is no sound "o" as in toe strictly speaking in Arabic. However, the way to pronounce vowels is not as precise as in English. The vowel " ـو " can be pronounced from "u" to "o" (as in toe).
