I'll be frank.  I don't like the name.  When a name exceeds two words without the used of adjectives, as opposed to nouns that describe another noun, I kind of wince.  That being said, it wouldn't make to much trouble to call it Dorian's Portrait.  Of course, this is your call, I'm just voicing my opinion.

It is a classic novel by Oscar Wilde :)

Realizing that one day his beauty will fade, Dorian (whimsically) expresses a desire to sell his soul to ensure the portrait Basil has painted would age rather than he. Dorian's wish is fulfilled, and when he subsequently pursues a life of debauchery, the portrait serves as a reminder of the effect each act has upon his soul, with each sin displayed as a disfigurement of his form, or through a sign of aging.

By the way, watch the movie. When the portrait was devoured by fire, Dorian died.

A novel title is fine. A card name is another thing.

No, I understand the reference.  That's not the issue here.

EDIT: Thank you, Absol.

I agree, the only thing I don't like is the name. I'd also call it "Dorian's Portrait". Concept is great.

Are there any strict guidelines for card naming?

No, there are not, which is why we leave the choice to change to you.  It's just that when it comes to EtG, a sort of brevity when it comes to naming is needed.

I like the original name, but if the game creator will shorten it, I'll be okay with that.

I don't like long names too, but I don't want to distort cultural reference here :)

Pretty sure the reference wouldn't be lost if you shortened it...
