The Song imperial house used 赵. Choosing Zhao today does not make someone a descendant of that house. This is context for the surname, not evidence about the user’s family. The given name above is a Plainname editorial combination; no classical poem, dynasty, lucky outcome, or individual ancestry is claimed for it.
A dictionary can support a character’s common sense. It cannot certify that the full combination sounds natural in every region or community. Try the complete name in the situation where you expect to use it.
