It's classic and it's clear and clean in sound. I like it very much. Historically, it wasn't used much in England until the 1950s/60s, except by Huguenots and Irish Catholics. Many Huguenot refugees had the name. I especially like it with Continental surnames.
It seems to be used more as a mn at present, and seems to be slowly making a comeback after being in the doldrums for a while.
