Questions about Kurtis in Japanese
How do you write Kurtis in Japanese?
Kurtis is written カーティス in katakana. Katakana is the script Japanese people use for foreign names, so this is how Kurtis would appear on a Japanese ID card, a café cup or a name tag.

Is 賀天寿 a real Japanese name?
Not as a traditional name. Japanese people write foreign names in katakana, so 賀天寿 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 賀天寿?
賀天寿 has 23 strokes in total (賀: 12, 天: 4, 寿: 7). It takes some practice to write neatly, so look up the stroke order before trying it with a brush.

Each character in 賀天寿 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 “Kurtis”. If you want your name to be recognized, katakana (カーティス) is clearer. Either way, ask a native speaker to check the final design.
