If your story 's realistic, it's weird. I'd always wonder why the heck she got this name, and I'd expect it to be justified in some way (eg: her parents were Renaissance scholars or something).It would be really unusable on a real child. Honestly, I wouldn't be entirely surprized if one of these days someone said they liked Table and Chair as names.

DittoRandom word names always remind me of that Seinfeld episode where they say they want to name kids Seven and Soda.

Ha! I could only ever see ultra-obsessed (a thousand times more obsessed than I, if that's possible) Harry Potter fans using the name Seven, because it's the most powerful number.
Now, I'm obsessed enough that I want to use Severus, Fred (nn for Frederick), and maybe Hermione, but those are reall names. Seven is a number. There's a fine line between psycho-obsessed and ridiculous-obsessed, I being the psycho-obsessed. Someone who names their kid Seven is ridiculous-obsessed.

I once met a Soda, but she's from Senegal, and I think over there it's a legit name with nothing to do with the drink. And some people seem to like number names.

I've heard of a girl named Soda too. Not sure where they got her name from.
