Questions about Soraya in Japanese

Is 蘇良弥 a real Japanese name?

Each character in 蘇良弥 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 “Soraya”. If you want your name to be recognized, katakana (ソラヤ) is clearer. Either way, ask a native speaker to check the final design.
