How many strokes is 夏里?
夏里 has 17 strokes in total (夏: 10, 里: 7). It takes some practice to write neatly, so look up the stroke order before trying it with a brush.

Each character in 夏里 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 “Carleen”. If you want your name to be recognized, katakana (カーリーン) is clearer. Either way, ask a native speaker to check the final design.
