How can I tell if I name I came up with is valid in Japanese?

For background I have some anime OCs that I create names for using kanji from a Japanese dictionary because I want to make a name perfect for the character. For example: 逝潴 (meant to be Yucho), 和保 (meant to be Naho), and 焦夏 (meant to be Koge)

I once read about how names work in Japanese, but the part that confused me is the on’yomi and kun’yomi. What I read said there are no hard rules with it other than if it sounds stupid, it won’t work as a name (please correct me if this is wrong). So, what sounds stupid? When I’m creating a name, what is valid to use and what isn’t? Thank you!
