Similarly to Soikan, I cannot find anything. I have searched few dictionaries, including 書道大辞典, and nada. I am guessing, that without a 大漢和辞典 (15 volums of a dictionary, that list around 50000 kanji)、or at least 広漢和辞典, it may be tricky. You know, there are characters that were created only for the purpose to serve as a name of a certain person, and were never used again. Their reading, naturally, is also unique.

edit: OK, I did some internet search and I reckon it might be 䦫, however, this character is not used in Japanese. Then again, the inside of 門 really looks like 大+日+草冠. It is also possible that either 䦫 has more forms, or the handwriting is incorrect. 万賴 in Chinese reads Wan Lai. 䦫 is listed as no. 41409 kanji in 大漢和辞典, so tht is pretty rare... Chinese reading is zhing and it means "inside the door". Cant find a name equivalent for it. There is no Japanese reading for it either, simply because this kanji does not exist in Japanese.
