If my memory serves me right regarding the time I used to practice writing by transliterating people’s names, the equivalence (in Serbian, at least) was:
/y/ = и / i
/ø/ = е / e
/θ/ = т / t
Ex.:
Günter Grass = Гинтер Грас / Ginter Gras;
Lucien Bonaparte = Лисијен Бонапарта / Lisijen Bonaparta.
Catherine Deneuve = Катрин Денев / Katrin Denev.
Matthew Broderick = Метју Бродерик / Metju Broderik;
Catherine Zeta-Jones = Кетрин Зита-Џоунс / Ketrin Zita-Džouns
