I don't see any problem with it when the intent is that obvious. There was some controversy a while back about user names that announced themselves to be "trolls", since that may suggest a variety of things and even if people can agree that you're talking about an [[internet troll]], they may not agree on what behavior is implied and whether it warrants blocking. However, as I'm quite certain that nobody from a Germanic tribe of Late Antiquity will be editing Wikipedia, anyone announcing themselves as a vandal can and should be blocked.
