He didn't say that yet, though, but if your suggestions get approved, that's great.

No objective complaints about that one; my gripe with the sound value is more personal.

In kanji it would be 福富士, a rather catchy combination.

It's actually 福藤, the surname. I also haven't really seen a three-character surname; possibly because they're very, very rare.

I pretty much only reread and did a bit of rectification on my name's characters to get a Japanese one.

Not really; surnames like 長谷川, 西園寺, and 二階堂 are reasonably common, though not to the level of 小林 or 鈴木.

Also would it be possible to immigrate with a name consisting of one Hyōgaiji?

Do you mean a name consisting of only a single hyōgaiji, or a name with a hyōgaiji in it?

"Tana" is commonly used as well. The one that has four squares together.

You could technically create a name with only hyōgaiji.

梶几 諜禿 "Kajiki Chōtoku".

The problem is whether the authorities would let you do that; they sometimes reject names on the grounds that the kanji used are too difficult or too obscure for people's convenience.

田?

It's actually read either as デン (in onyomi) or as た (in kunyomi). In surnames (石田, 藤田, 山田, 高田, 田辺, 田中, etc), it's usually the latter pronunciation that's used.
