Is it Islamically permissible to name a mosque "Masjid al-Dareeḥ" (Shrine Mosque) if there is a shrine next to it?

It is permissible to pray in the aforementioned mosque if the grave is outside of it, and there is no impediment to calling it "the Shrine Mosque" if that is for the purpose of distinguishing it from others.
