Not all names are kanji. Usually in context, we translate it to kanji. But in this case, the kanji is 浪人, which means rogue samurai, and it's a title. Therefore, it's not a given name. However, if it is a given name, and to avoid confusion, you'd use hiragana instead. ろにん or ろうにん because some names don't use kanji, like mine. Technically, as some names exist in hiragana, it's same to say it's an alternative for vague names like these.
