Help[Opinions] It's workable
in reply to a message by Array
as long as you don't mind the (slight, heavy, or however you feel about it) burden of explaining to people how it's pronounced.
To be really, truly unworkable versus just unconventional it'd probably have to be pretty bad. Piloqutinnguaq to me is unworkable; Blodeuwedd would be a no-go for me, too. But I tend to notice that Biblical or Hebrew names can veer into slightly complicated territory and people will still deal with them. I remember when Gore/Lieberman were on the presidential ticket the media seemed to handle Hadassah Lieberman's name without freaking out. :-)
