Is 和太 a real Japanese name?
Partly. The characters 和太 appear in Japanese names, but with the reading Kazuta and Kazuhiro rather than Wata. As a spelling of Wanda, it is a creative kanji choice (ateji): Japanese readers will see the meaning of each character.

Each character in 和太 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 “Wanda”. If you want your name to be recognized, katakana (ワンダ) is clearer. Either way, ask a native speaker to check the final design.
