Seripmav Etomed would be an awesome name for a vampire.

Let's see. Vampires are typically Transylvanian, so the name would have to be Hungarian or Romanian.

In Romanian, Seripmav Etomed would probably be pronounced (displayed here in an arbitrary phonetic notation I just made up) "shehreep'mahv [?y]eh'tohmehd" and would obviously be a really unusual name.

In Hungarian, the issue is complicated because of the nonregular implementation of vowel harmony in anything, let alone loanwords (since this is about as native Hungarian as apple pie). But let's assume it's a native Hungarian name with vowel harmony. Then it's still hard to determine how it would be pronounced, but a good approximation would be "shehreepmehv ehtohmehd", though Seripmav would probably be written Seripmev. I have no idea where accent goes.

So they're basically the same. However, Seripmav is marginal as a first name in both languages even on a "what if" basis, and Etomed is 0% Romanian or Hungarian, 50% Hebrew, 50% "demote" backwards. So there's that.

Dyslexic Jewish vampires, anyone?

That comic is a little far-fetched. It's obviously the teeth. Chicks dig big teeth.
