Yes, you can use a software called vanitygen. Make sure you download from the original official source and run it OFFLINE.

So I could get an MFDoom address?  Awesome!

The revolution will be monetized!
Make sure you do it yourself! Farming out the creation of a vanity address means taking on a security risk. And remember that each desired character lengthens the time it will take to create.
So, 1Love4GjE1847hhs88q9ye8qbsag7 will take a lot less time than 1elitecoder47hhs88q9ye8qbsag7

Hello, theoretically you can generate your own addres, but actually you would need a lot of time (thousands of years) or a really fantastical computer to generate a full bitcoin address. Anyway, you can generate your own starting strings, as long as you can afford in terms of time / computing power. There are also pools that would do the job, obviously with a price.

This kind of "custom" addresses are called Vanity addresses or vanitygen.

Here you can find more information and some links to start: https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Vanitygen
