My only exposure to this name was on a Christmas-themed Wolverine parody character, whose claws are made out of candy canes.
I can't see it being seriously used as a first name. Maybe as a middle if it's a family surname, but ehhhhh...Even then I think it'd be difficult to get away with. It sounds kind of like a Crayola color to me. Like the color of snow-dusted pine needles. I just don't think it makes a very good name for a real person. But for a gruff elf, by all means, use it.
