The only reason I have it in a combo on my list is for someone who wishes to honour his grandmother... Aside from that, while the meaning in and of itself is fine, the first thing it brings to mind for me is eugenics, which is a very offensive concept for those whose family, friends and/or people group may have been affected by that mindset and the groups who were promoting it. I actually know someone who was sterylized without consent on the grounds that she was an orphan/foster child and there were many other people who were not deemed "fit" to reproduce in the eyes of the elite who had the power to do something about it and wound up forcefully sterylized if they lived in North America (ethnic minorities or people with traits that someone in power arbitrarily viewed as "defective") and if they lived in Germany and the Nazis got to them, well... that was taken to another extreme... It prob'ly won't stir up that image in the minds of those who are not aware of the eugenics movement, but for those who are, it could bring that to mind... why I wouldn't use it on my own child.
