Questions about Leroy in Japanese

How do you write Leroy in Japanese?

Is 理路唯 a real Japanese name?

Not as a traditional name. Japanese people write foreign names in katakana, so 理路唯 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.

Each character in 理路唯 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 “Leroy”. If you want your name to be recognized, katakana (リロイ) is clearer. Either way, ask a native speaker to check the final design.
