Copyright.
Titles, names, short phrases, and slogans, familiar symbols or designs and mere variations of typographic ornamentation are not eligible for federal copyright protection. Copyright protects "original works of authorship" that are fixed in a tangible form of expression.
Patent.
A name is not an invention. No brainer.
Trademark.
This is a little more complicated. According to your desciption of the name you have in mind, however, the answer is no because it has not been used in connection with any product or service. On the other hand, MIcrosoft Windows is a trademark for obvious reasons.
不行。
