Our top pick is 礼生日 (Reisu). 礼 means “courtesy”, 生 means “life” and 日 means “sun”. Other good options are 礼唯澄 (Reisu) and 玲依日 (Reisu).

Is 礼生日 a real Japanese name?

礼生日 has 14 strokes in total (礼: 5, 生: 5, 日: 4). That is quite simple to write by hand, even for beginners.

Each character in 礼生日 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 “Reyes”. If you want your name to be recognized, katakana (レイース) is clearer. Either way, ask a native speaker to check the final design.
