Is 杏武良鶴 a real Japanese name?

Each character in 杏武良鶴 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 “Ambrose”. If you want your name to be recognized, katakana (アンブロズ) is clearer. Either way, ask a native speaker to check the final design.
