Sorry, no to all of those.
994 is CMXCIV not VIM
1499 is MCDXCIX not MID
499 is CDXCIX not ID
(In general, Romans didn't use a much smaller number before a bigger one in that way. I could go before V or X, but not before L, C, D or M.)
There is at least one common English word that is a proper Roman number.
