The mythical Lucretia committed suicide after her "defilement", because honor demanded it. It's a good name for a tragic character, someone who blithely follows what honor demands to the detriment of herself or others, but I wouldn't name a kid this.

The reputation of Lucrezia Borgia as a poisoner seems to have been undeserved. Her father, Rodrigo (the pope!), and brother Cesare, on the other hand, were mighty nasty characters.

Yeah, Lucrezia Borgia was nowhere near as bad as she was made out to be in myth. In fact, not a whole lot is known about her, besides that she was a member of a horrible and powerful family.

This is an absolutely beautiful name but I wouldn't feel happy naming my daughter after a victim of rape. It'd be like calling her Philomel or something. I don't know how many people would be aware of the namesake, though.
