For one thing, if the name is not difficult to spell or pronounce, why not? Girls are named Isabella and Isabel without being Italian or Spanish and boys are named Aidan and Liam without being Irish etc.
Amaya is already used for girls, probably b/c it is similar to names like Amelia, Amanda and Maya.
Personally I would only do it if I had any connection with Japan. Japanese origin or maybe a fascination and knowledge of Japan and Japanese culture. Akira for a boy, b/c I admire Akira Kurosawa's films, for instance.

I learned my lesson well.
You see you can’t please everyone
So you got to please yourself."
