[Opinions] Re: if meaning "married" works against it ...
In that case, I still think meaning is a factor; not THE factor, but it influences many people to some degree, even non-namenerds.
Websites and books wouldn't bother to list meanings if no one cared about them at all.
But of course, there's also many people who don't care.
I guess for me, meaning is just another association. My opinion of a name varies based on whether I associate it with positive/negative things.
