No. Firstly, it's far too obvious--unless you're going to Kate Kline or Jasper Fforde it and make everyone's names puns, it'll stick out badly. Moreover, that pronunciation isn't at all intuitive; how do you get three syllables from Sylum? I see two: SYE-luhm.Array

"Phineas. That's an interesting name."
"Yeah. It's Latin for 'kick me'."
