For some reason, whenever this name comes up, there are a lot of haters. I can't understand why. I personally love it. It was on my list until my husband nixed it.
There was just a post about this, so you might want to check out the responses on that thread. This was the name that DH and I originally planned to use for our first daughter, but we changed our minds when we found out we were having a girl. It's definitely high up on our list for a future daughter.
