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

羽良 has 13 strokes in total (羽: 6, 良: 7). That is quite simple to write by hand, even for beginners.

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