Somehow this comes across to me as cuter than many another "dawn"-themed name. Maybe it's the "sh" in the middle that, enhanced by the vowel transition, makes the whole name sound squishy and cute x) on another note, though, I have a teacher who bears this name, and she's rather down-to-earth and commonsensical. Names don't exactly make the person, do they? :P.
This is the name of the powerful mage Raistlin's (possibly) illegitimate daughter in the novel Dragonlance: Dragons of Summer Flame. She turns out not to be Raistlin's daughter, though--which is good, because she falls in love with his nephew, Palin. I was surprised to find Usha on this database, since just about all of the names in the Dragonlance novels are "created".
