I like it and have noted it in passing, but never got round to looking it up, so it's good to have some info on it. I like the Metrodora meaning, although I'd be inclined to favour the other two possibilities, or just random poetic invention; there were none born in the UK before the poem. It's been in consistent, if sporadic use in the UK since then, but only two babies got the name in the last 20 years.
