Questions about Beryl in Japanese

Is 平良瑠 a real Japanese name?

平良瑠 has 26 strokes in total (平: 5, 良: 7, 瑠: 14). It takes some practice to write neatly, so look up the stroke order before trying it with a brush.

Can I use 平良瑠 as a tattoo?

Each character in 平良瑠 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 “Beryl”. If you want your name to be recognized, katakana (ベラル) is clearer. Either way, ask a native speaker to check the final design.
