How these characters were chosen
Japanese has no letters for foreign names, so a name is first written in katakana — シネイド — which records how it sounds. Kanji are then chosen whose readings match those sounds. Because many characters share the same reading, there is never a single correct spelling; there are only choices, and each one changes what the name says.
詩念伊道 is built from 詩 (poetry), 念 (thought), 伊 (phonetic i), 道 (path). Every character here comes from a hand-checked dictionary, and combinations that happen to spell an ordinary Japanese word are rejected before you ever see them.
