Questions about Delia in Japanese
How do you write Delia in Japanese?

Is 天里愛 a real Japanese name?
Not as a traditional name. Japanese people write foreign names in katakana, so 天里愛 is a creative kanji spelling (called ateji), chosen for its sounds and meanings. Japanese readers will understand what each character means, and many will enjoy the idea behind it.
How many strokes is 天里愛?
天里愛 has 24 strokes in total (天: 4, 里: 7, 愛: 13). It takes some practice to write neatly, so look up the stroke order before trying it with a brush.
Can I use 天里愛 as a tattoo?
Each character in 天里愛 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 “Delia”. If you want your name to be recognized, katakana (デリア) is clearer. Either way, ask a native speaker to check the final design.
