Yes, why not.
Lecture on SB 5.5.1-2 -- Paris, August 12, 1973:

Jyotirmayī: ...name of God, can the name of God be pronounced, uttered?

Prabhupāda: Yes, why not.

Jyotirmayī: God was existing before we could utter, we could pronounce, so how can you...

Prabhupāda: So God, because existing, His name was also existing. Therefore, His name is not material name. Because God was existing, His name was existing. So God was existing before creation, therefore His name, His form, is not material.

Jyotirmayī: (If the) name of God is not material, how is it possible to pronounce it materially, with our material tongue?

Prabhupāda: Yes, it is possible, when you are purified.
