That's the thing about it that I meant to emphasize - I truly wouldn't be able to tell easily what association was intended. By some people it would be readily associated with Zionism (which itself could have a variety of different positive connotations, for different people). But I think a lot of other people have other associations too. So it's probably loaded with some meaning, but you just can't be sure what meaning ... and ultimately I think it doesn't matter except to the parents. That's how I feel about Israel as a name, too.
