Questions about Gregor in Japanese

Is 宮怜香瑠 a real Japanese name?
Not as a traditional name. Japanese people write foreign names in katakana, so 宮怜香瑠 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 宮怜香瑠?
宮怜香瑠 has 41 strokes in total (宮: 10, 怜: 8, 香: 9, 瑠: 14). It takes some practice to write neatly, so look up the stroke order before trying it with a brush.

Each character in 宮怜香瑠 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 “Gregor”. If you want your name to be recognized, katakana (グレゴル) is clearer. Either way, ask a native speaker to check the final design.
