Picking Kanji for your own name?

My Japanese friend asked me if I had picked Kanji for my name. My name translates into a super common/popular Japanese girls name and she was showing me kanji combinations she thought I should pick.

How common is it to pick a Kanji as a Non Japanese person? Is it just cringe to have picked your own Kanji?

In all my years of learning Japanese I’ve never been asked that before. She might have just been making conversation or it might just be because it’s an easy name to convert idk.
