Well, the meaning "she-bear" is neat, and the legend about the princess returning from a pilgrimage gives it some ambiance, but the sound of the name is so frumpy, ugly, and dated that not even Ursula Le Guin can save it. It has a similar hag feel as names like Bertha, Fatima, Maud, Myrtle, and Agatha.
