just because you don't knowhow to pronounce it doesn't mean it's not a word :p
And if it has to be a word, why is CEO accepted as an acronym, when nobody says it as a word, they say it as C-E-O? And for that matter, what qualifies something as a word? Is OPEC a word? I'm pretty sure it's not. Just because it's simple to pronounce something doesn't make it a word. I'm pretty sure SNOFFAGUMP isn't a word, but it's easy to say. Autochthon is a word, but just by reading it you probably wouldn't get the right pronunciation.
and also, onym means word OR name.
