This one IMO wouldn't work, Bee would I think which is cute.

As a sincere lover of unusual word names, I still say absolutely NOT

Isn't a hornet a nasty insect? Would she have siblings named Wasp and Mosquito?

I don't think it could work, sorry. Hornets are insects and not very nice ones... They're toxic and aggressive, both features I would not wanna attribute to my daughter.
