It is possible.

It is enough to prepare a list of colors tagged with names in RGB. Then find the color that is nearest by some metric. Euclidean distance will do.

There is an article from xkcd with a color survey. They even give you the survey database to fiddle around with. Quality of data is not guaranteed but a good base nevertheless.
