Now that I think about it, you do not have to use make-pitch. You can 
extract the pitch information from a note, like this:

%%% BEGIN %%%
\version "2.10.0"

#(define (getpitch mus)
  (ly:music-property
   (car (ly:music-property
         (car (ly:music-property mus 'elements))
         'elements))
   'pitch))

myPitchnames = #`(
        (myowndeepceses . ,(getpitch #{ ceses, #} ))
        (myownf . ,(getpitch #{ f' #}))
)

pitchnames = #(append pitchnames myPitchnames)
#(ly:parser-set-note-names parser pitchnames)

{
  c' d' e' f' myowndeepceses2 g'4 a' myownf1
}
%%% END %%%
