Is 瑠依聖 a real Japanese name?

How many strokes is 瑠依聖?

瑠依聖 has 35 strokes in total (瑠: 14, 依: 8, 聖: 13). It takes some practice to write neatly, so look up the stroke order before trying it with a brush.

Each character in 瑠依聖 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 “Luise”. If you want your name to be recognized, katakana (ルイセ) is clearer. Either way, ask a native speaker to check the final design.
