She was the sister of Electra (of Electra complex fame), and the niece of Helen of Troy, and Castor and Pollux (of Gemini--constellation and astrological sign--fame). She was also the niece-in-law of Paris, and a stepdaughter of Cassandra.
I've never really thought about the name much. It has a very interesting history, I must give it that. The sound is nice enough. But I'm unsure how it would work as a fn today. Maybe as a mn? I think it might grow on me a bit more as a fn though.
