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.
