Is 良衣舞 a real Japanese name?
Not as a traditional name. Japanese people write foreign names in katakana, so 良衣舞 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.

良衣舞 has 28 strokes in total (良: 7, 衣: 6, 舞: 15). It takes some practice to write neatly, so look up the stroke order before trying it with a brush.

Each character in 良衣舞 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 “Lyman”. If you want your name to be recognized, katakana (ライマン) is clearer. Either way, ask a native speaker to check the final design.
