I saw this on a blog the other day but I didn't really like it as a first name. I have it on one of my posts as a surname but I didn't really like it as a first name when I first read it. The meaning "Wild Garlic Island" isn't all that great but the other meanings are strong I guess. Now I sort of like it but I don't know if I would ever use it on any of my characters but I will never say never.
Character Naming
As an Author naming your Character is an important step right after coming up with the plot. I am here to help you choose the right character name for you and your story.
Make sure your character name is Genre Appropriate. Make sure if it's a Historical Fiction novel or takes place in a real time period that the name was used then. Or if it's a fictionalized place then you can be as creative as you wish.
Just have fun with naming your character. It is after all your story.
