I like it, and I'm familiar with it. There's a character named Keiko in the anime Yu Yu Hakusho. I've also met a few Brazilians of Japanese descent with the name. This seems to be one of the Japanese names that's familiar to non-Japanese people in general, including ones that don't watch anime. (In fact, I think I've seen the name Keiko more in non-Japanese media than in anime. My guess is because the name Keiko, like most names ending in -ko, is considered dated in Japan. Anime seems to realize this since female characters with -ko names tend to appear more in older anime series than more recent ones.)

Shiraha sounds like a name you'd see on a anime or manga character rather than one on a real-life Japanese person.

I'm pretty familiar with Japanese names in general since I watch a lot of anime and play a lot of Japanese video games. However, I try to be aware that many Japanese names that appear in their pop culture aren't common IRL, or sometimes not used at all. It seems like a lot of people (usually those under 30) tend to confuse anime and manga names with real Japanese names. Some names commonly used in Japanese pop culture, like Ichigo (Japanese for strawberry) are hardly ever heard in the real world. A real-life child named Goku or Usagi would probably be made fun of.
