The genus would have to fit established taxonomic protocols. However, the species name can be anything that's desired. Using your own name is common practice provided the name ends in 'i' to describe to readers that the new species was named after someone.

(example: Lake Tebera rainbowfish - Melanotaenia herbertaxelrodi. Named after Dr. Herbert Axelrod)

oh cool, I'd name it something in Arabic to confuse everyone, but if I get hopeless I'd name it after myself which doesn't make it any less confusing
