WDYT of Irie?

There was a girl called Irie in a very good book I read recently. She was of Jamaican origin, and her name means "OK" or "all right" in Patois. I really like the sound of it and I find it a really sweet name. What do you think? Is the meaning too simple? Would you consider using it? Thank you.
