Can any noun be duplicated like 人人 and 天天?

I'm familiar with duplication of nouns to mean "all" or "every", such as > 打扫卫生人人有责。 > Everyone is responsible for cleaning up. > > 好好学习天天向上。 > If you study well you will improve every day. Can the same structure be used for any noun? > 狗狗有尾。 > All dogs have tails (?) > > 腿腿疼手手冷。 > Both of my legs hurt and both of my hands are cold (?) > > 熊猫熊猫很可爱。 > All pandas are cute (?) Are these acceptable sentences?
