Your question is hard for me to answer, but I believe
that basically you are allowed to submit a name change request
for any last name you would like to bear, including any
orthography. Ultimately the decision making belongs to your
government.
Unless based on information about the jurisdiction involved and
preferably some definite knowledge of its rules, this kind of
contribution is worse than useless.
The first letter is from an obsolete orthography and the second to
last is for phonetic use (it's a small-caps, so Unicode recommends
it not being used for ordinary text).
For systems that do limit their character repertoire to a "clean"
subset, these two would be prime candidates for exclusion. So Leo
would be unable to register that name as a top level domain name,
for example.
