I, too, thought it was an Asian name at first.
While I also agree with Bear that NNs are a better place to get creative than full names, I think this one is bordering on tacky. With the constant use of these sorts of NNs for celebrities in today's media (K-Fed for Kevin Federline, J-Lo for Jennifer Lopez, LiLo for Lindsay Lohan, etc.), it seems like a forced attempt at trendiness.
Magnanimous Despair alone could show me so divine a thing, where feeble hope could ne'er have flown, but vainly flapped its tinsel wing.
