Is 明日芸琉 a real Japanese name?

Each character in 明日芸琉 has a positive meaning, so it is a reasonable choice. Keep in mind that Japanese people will read it as the meaning of the characters, not instantly as “Abigail”. If you want your name to be recognized, katakana (アビゲイル) is clearer. Either way, ask a native speaker to check the final design.
