I think this is super cute! I don’t know why it’s getting hate. I would name a daughter this. It’s not an obvious literary reference (which I don’t think make good names) but an English teacher might get it and think it was cute.

This is the name of a young African-American girl in The Watson's Go to Birmingham, 1963. It's a cute sounding name, but I can't see it on anyone but old-timey southern folks.
