I can’t see why it shouldn’t work. For me, the pronunciation is intuitive and, while perhaps a bit exotic, the sound is lovely and soft. I know a young American woman from a blended-culture family whose name is comprised of Aruna, from her father’s family, and a commonly-used traditional name, from her mother’s family, smooshed together. She grew up attending American public schools and had no difficulties related to her name.
