The "wilted" user and 5 downvoters are wrong - Shouta is not a separate name. It is just a different spelling. Shota, Shōta, and Shouta are all different English spellings of the same Japanese name. So they are not separate like that user says, just romanized differently. They're also pronounced the same.However, it should be noted that, while using in English countries may be questionable, the 'Shotaro Complex' (abbreviated to Shota) comes from the fact that Shotaro is a super common stereotypical boys' name in Japan. So people in Japan aren't likely to blink an eye if you use this name there.
