Questions about Bernadette in Japanese

How do you write Bernadette in Japanese?

Is 羽菜天登 a real Japanese name?

Each character in 羽菜天登 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 “Bernadette”. If you want your name to be recognized, katakana (バーナデット) is clearer. Either way, ask a native speaker to check the final design.
