Questions about Liem in Japanese

How do you write Liem in Japanese?

Liem is written リエム in katakana. Katakana is the script Japanese people use for foreign names, so this is how Liem would appear on a Japanese ID card, a café cup or a name tag. Depending on the origin of the name, it can also be written リーム (as written in Japan).

Is 理英夢 a real Japanese name?

Not as a traditional name. Japanese people write foreign names in katakana, so 理英夢 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 理英夢?

理英夢 has 32 strokes in total (理: 11, 英: 8, 夢: 13). It takes some practice to write neatly, so look up the stroke order before trying it with a brush.

Can I use 理英夢 as a tattoo?

Each character in 理英夢 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 “Liem”. If you want your name to be recognized, katakana (リエム) is clearer. Either way, ask a native speaker to check the final design.
