I wouldn't have a problem with it.

My only concern would be whether some spam filters may pick up on the name from email headers and consider email coming from it to be spam.

I have a friend who's surname is Hiscock. He has a difficult time registering for email accounts, messenger usernames and other online services (even making purchases at some online stores!) because many of these services have filters in place which look at a certain part of his surname, consider it to be rude and tell him to pick something else. As such, he has to use a fictitious surname quite often.
