Explanation:
as a non-native catonese speaker, i can only say it is hard for us to recover the characters without knowing the context. For cantonese, seven transcription systems are available (http://humanum.arts.cuhk.edu.hk/Lexis/lexi-can/).

Yut : (by the Yale system)
yut3 鳦, 黦, 乙, 釔, 爇, 噦
yut6 爇, 燏, 乙, 說, 月, 越, 閱, 悅, 曰, 穴, 粵, 刖, 玥, 軏, 戉, 抈, 泧, 鳦, 鉞, 噦, 樾, 聿, 鷸, 遹, 潏, 鴥, 驈, 矞, 踅, 瞲, 釔, 泬, 狘, 仴, 僪, 欥, 芛, 蚎, 袕


Fuk:
[by the Yale formal system]
福, 複, 覆, 幅, 腹, 輻, 蝠, 愎, 馥, 蝮, 葍, 輹, 鍑, 鰒, 复, 復, 踾, 諨, 鶝

with the hints from Edward, it might be a cantonese name: (first name: Yut Fuk) + (surname: Yee).

According to http://www.geocities.com/Tokyo/3919/y.html
Yee is 余 as a surname. Fuk in a name should most likely be 福(fortunte). For Yut, any character from

yut3 鳦, 黦, 乙, 釔, 爇, 噦
yut6 爇, 燏, 乙, 說, 月, 越, 閱, 悅, 曰, 穴, 粵, 刖, 玥, 軏, 戉, 抈, 泧, 鳦, 鉞, 噦, 樾, 聿, 鷸, 遹, 潏, 鴥, 驈, 矞, 踅, 瞲, 釔, 泬, 狘, 仴, 僪, 欥, 芛, 蚎, 袕

should be legitimate. For some informal spelling, 一/仪can also be used.

so my suggestion would be
乙福,余

i should say it is a name not famous at all


as the first name is somehow common,
