No, unless you count the three character extension, which brings you up
to eleven characters.

You can specify more than eight characters in the filename, but only the
first eight will be used.  The problem here is that MS-DOS directory
entries must rigidly follow a fixed format: 32 bytes per entry, of which
the first 8 bytes are the filename, the next 3 bytes are the extension,
and subsequent bytes specify time/date stamp, attributes, starting
cluster, file size, etc.  This 32-byte fixed format is well defined and
well documented.

I can only think of a couple of things in MS-DOS that are relatively
unrestricted:  the size of a single file, and the number of files that
can be contained in a subdirectory.
