Good Lord, I hope not.
True story: Jamie Farr, the famous Cpl. Max Klinger of M*A*S*H, was born Jameel Farah, and started his acting career under his real name. Then some critics who didn't like his work nicknamed him ‘Schlemiel Farah’, and it looked like the nickname might stick because of the cute wordplay. So he changed his stage name to Jamie Farr.
‘Schleprock’ is at least as bad as ‘Schlemiel’.
