Jackie in devānagarī transliteration (script for sanskrit, hindi and some others indians languages) > जकि
अन्तः शून्यो बहिः शुन्यः शुन्यः कुम्भ इवांबरे।
अन्तः पूर्णो बहिः पूर्णः पूर्णः कुम्भ इवार्णवे।।

the problem with this name is that, in English, it's pronounced something like /dʒæki/. the /æ/ sound can be represented with an , which is a vowel added to the Sanskrit alphabet to represent this English open vowel.
so, the name would stay like this:
जॅकि
we don't know if this vowel represents the same sound in Hindi. we've read that, in Hindi, alone can represent the /æ/ phoneme, but we're not sure. in this case, the name would be written as:
जेकी
let's wait for a confirmation.
Merci de corriger notre français si nécessaire.
