You can ask this to your hired web designer or a professional. But still the answer is not necessary at all. Hence, I would say NO. When it comes to the search engines, Google stands as number one with an estimated 9 billion of pages indexed which is approximately 75% of the internet. It is commonly and always argued that other search engines will follow once Google has indexed your site. As Google is always looking for new content, your site might be the one which will be found eventually. Hence, if you don't submit your site to Google as well, would be considered.

2) As Yahoo and MSN offer simple and free submissions, you can submit your site to these search engines although you don't submit on other search engines.

Moreover, most of the search engines out of these 11-12 do not accept the submissions of site during the time of writing. Google, Yahoo, MSN among these are the ones which accepts. Below is the list of submit pages which are available:
