MenuNo. They are difficult to spell, challenging to pronounce and violate a wealth of basic linguistic principles. But don't believe me: You can prove this to yourself.
Give the names, written down, and nothing else, to 10 people who don't know you. Ask them to pronounce them.
Next, pronounce the names for 10 other people and ask them to spell it. Both tests will fail.
Furthermore, they are neither memorable nor evocative.
You're falling prey to the Latinate myth: if I create a name using etymologies or metonyms, and glom them together, I will have a great name. But you won't. You'll have a glommed-together name instead that does not evoke the meaning of any of the etymological roots or metonyms! Sometimes 1+1 = 0.
