Our top pick is 羽平 (Hahei). 羽 means “feather” and 平 means “peace”. Other good options are 葉平 (Hahei) and 巴平 (Hahei).

Is 羽平 a real Japanese name?

Each character in 羽平 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 “Pape”. If you want your name to be recognized, katakana (パペ) is clearer. Either way, ask a native speaker to check the final design.
