This is the first time I've seen a courstey title used together with
first name of the wife as if it were a family name.

Is this current and accepted practice?

In the sense that it's what people with such names call themselves and
others. The Marquess of Blandford is always referred to as 'Jamie
Blandford', for example and some time ago, a duchess introduced herself
and her husband to me by their christian names and title as surname.
