Oh, interesting! Named in the 90s, even. Interesting responses on this board, too.
I appreciate that people react to it a certain way - similar to the way they react to Liberty (but not Justice, I guess? haha). I can't imagine that people would stereotype her in real life ... would they? Can you ask her if she likes her name?
Aside from the negative stereotyping ... I think it's about ten thousand times namier and cooler than Poet - but not even as cool or appealingly namey as Pagan. I agree with LadyBug that it seems more masculine (and I think Poet and Pagan do as well) but I guess it works for a girl.

There's a character name Pagan in the book "THe Amateur Marriage" (Anne Tyler),a boy.
His mother got lost in the drug scene, and he was raised by his grandparents.
I always kind of liked the name Pilgrim (and I'm not from the U.S., even)but refrained from naming any child of mine that;we have an unlikely last name, and it seemed that the usual and known would be best.
