Questions about Wynona in Japanese

Is 和祈南 a real Japanese name?

Each character in 和祈南 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 “Wynona”. If you want your name to be recognized, katakana (ワイノーナ) is clearer. Either way, ask a native speaker to check the final design.
