Questions about Shelia in Japanese
How do you write Shelia in Japanese?
Shelia is written シリア in katakana. Katakana is the script Japanese people use for foreign names, so this is how Shelia would appear on a Japanese ID card, a café cup or a name tag.

Is 詩里愛 a real Japanese name?
Not as a traditional name. Japanese people write foreign names in katakana, so 詩里愛 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.
How many strokes is 詩里愛?
詩里愛 has 33 strokes in total (詩: 13, 里: 7, 愛: 13). It takes some practice to write neatly, so look up the stroke order before trying it with a brush.
Can I use 詩里愛 as a tattoo?
Each character in 詩里愛 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 “Shelia”. If you want your name to be recognized, katakana (シリア) is clearer. Either way, ask a native speaker to check the final design.
