The first name would work just fine, I reckon. One could be forgiven to think it reads "Mitsuki", but ambiguous names do exist - especially in recent years due to hipster parents slapping together random kanji just for the sake of "cool" phonetics Tongue
「美月」as "Mizuki" is fine though.

As for surname however, "Sakura" more commonly refers to 「佐倉」rather than「桜」
Personally, I feel「佐倉」to be more appropriate as a Raen surname. Here's why: (Translations will be tricky as there are no direct English translations, but bear with me)
佐 = "sa" = assistant, helper. Usually used more as a title or role - very commonly used in military ranks like "taisa" (colonel), "shousa" (major)
倉 = "kura" = storehouse, warehouse, granary, treasury.

In terms of lore and RP, the "Sakura" surname would indicate that your family or at least your ancestors somewhere up the lineage were in charge of granaries / treasuries. Maybe even run a bank?

Well, I hope you get the general idea Smile
