It is pretty and I like that it has an interesting history. I remember hearing it, but I can't remember where. I'm partial to the idea of warrior-maidens too.
The fact that your great-grandmother hated it reminds me of a similar situation in my family. My great-great-grandparents gave my great-grandma Eugenia as a middle name after their friend Eugene who was killed in a car accident shortly before their wedding. It was passed to my grandma (also as a middle name) and it was supposed to be my aunt's middle name, but my grandma didn't like it. I love Eugenia and I wouldn't have minded it as a middle name. It is far less common (and trendy) than Nicole. Oh well. :-)
