How do you pronounce it?

If you were to write this name using Kanji to make it look 'Japanese', you could choose characters like 亜 (Asia) and 連 (connect), though this is a stylistic choice and not a standard way to write the name.
Names like アレン are written in カタカナ (katakana), a script used specifically for foreign words and names to distinguish them from native Japanese words.
Because Japanese lacks a distinct 'L' sound, the name アレン is pronounced with a sound that is a hybrid between 'R' and 'L'.
