There may be no legal objection, but is it considered a good idea to appropriate the namespace? If you don't own a domain and your name isn't common, then I'd suggest using a package such as org.pierrick.brihaye.aramorph. Alternatively you could be more creative. As far as I know, there are no restrictions on package names except those imposed on directory names. So you don't need to start with 'org' or 'com'. How about coder.pierrick.brihaye.aramorph?
