I used this as the name of an exceptionally beautiful woman from a race of people from another planet that help one of my characters give birth to her child, the child that will change the lives of people on two warring worlds. This is a beautiful name with an other world feel which is why I chose it. It has lovely meanings and just looks so beautiful. I wouldn’t mind seeing this name used more often but not so much that it looses its unique rareness.
