There's no harm in not following naming conventions. However, note that if your character will not have a conventional name, you must be ready to justify why. You don't need it to be complex, convoluted or even to be interesting as long as it makes sense. It can be something as simple as that your lalafell's parents naming their son/daughter in honor of some friend who was not a lala himself; or something more complex like coming from a family of wannabe aristocrats that has shunned the race's traditions to differentiate theirselves from the rest.
