Questions about Tobias in Japanese

Is 登梅飛 a real Japanese name?

Each character in 登梅飛 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 “Tobias”. If you want your name to be recognized, katakana (トバイアス) is clearer. Either way, ask a native speaker to check the final design.
