Is 安平 a real Japanese name?
Partly. The characters 安平 appear in Japanese names, but with the reading Yasuhei rather than Ahei. As a spelling of Abbe, it is a creative kanji choice (ateji): Japanese readers will see the meaning of each character.

Each character in 安平 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 “Abbe”. If you want your name to be recognized, katakana (アッベ) is clearer. Either way, ask a native speaker to check the final design.
