How should the names of Hindu mythological deities be spelled?

For instance, shouldn't Lord Rama actually be spelled as Lord Ram, because that's how we pronounce it? Why then do I frequently find an extra 'a' at the end in texts?

I always see it with an a at the end. How do Indians themselves write it in English? Surely there is an accepted form.
