Questions about Philomena in Japanese

Is 宙実菜 a real Japanese name?

Each character in 宙実菜 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 “Philomena”. If you want your name to be recognized, katakana (フィロミーナ) is clearer. Either way, ask a native speaker to check the final design.
