Alaikumassalam wa rahmatullah,
Yes, you can use Rayyan and it will still refer to the door of Paradise. Bāb al-Rayyān means "The Door of Rayyan", so the actual name is Rayyan, Bab just means "door", and the al- is just a definite article (like "the" in English) that can be removed.
You can see the details of Rayyan here: Rayyan
