Yes Poe is a name.

The proof that it is a name is that a great American writer of short stories, poems and other works who lived from January 19, 1809 till October 7, 1849 was actually named Edgar Allan Poe. There were even several family members also named Poe, although with different first names.

What was the name given to Edgar Allan Poe at baptism?

Poe's birth name was Edgar Poe.
