Questions about Leilani in Japanese

Is 理良仁 a real Japanese name?

Each character in 理良仁 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 “Leilani”. If you want your name to be recognized, katakana (リラニー) is clearer. Either way, ask a native speaker to check the final design.
