Hello, Clarice….LOL! The Silence of the Lambs novel and movie may or may not help you decide whether you want to use this name. I have recently used it in a short story. I like the look and the old fashioned sound of this name. I also love the meanings. I also love saying it because it sounds sort of exotic but looks very English.
