Ra-mo-n
You can keep it exactly the same. Japanese has these three syllables (Ra-mo-n) so this is one of those lucky cases where the name can actually be "translated". If you want to say "My name is Ramon" say "Watashi no namae wa Ramon desu". HTH.

: These "not logged in" askers often just seem to want to know how to say/write their/their friends' names in other languages. I'm also guessing it's a personal name. To asker, that's ラモン in katakana, by the way.

Yes they do. Sometimes transliteration is possible, i'm amused by requests for "translation". Thanks for the "agree".

Textured fine silk
Ramon is a type of texture that used be applied to fine silk for Kimono in Japan. It is a fine silk with unique texture woven into it. (Typical silk is smooth) We may still find "羅文紙 Ramon-shi" (Textured paper) at Japanese art store. (I am not sure about it though.)

P.S.
Ramon (羅文, 羅門とも書く）is somewhat similer to \"Watermark\". If they are talking about certificates, they probably meant \"Ramon-shi\" to be used for certificates.
