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

葉知 has 20 strokes in total (葉: 12, 知: 8). It takes some practice to write neatly, so look up the stroke order before trying it with a brush.

Each character in 葉知 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 “Patsy”. If you want your name to be recognized, katakana (パッツィ) is clearer. Either way, ask a native speaker to check the final design.
