It makes me think of Pallas Athena. There was also a minor character with the name in the Aeneid. He was a protege of Aeneas and dies in order to give Aeneas more motivation. I like that the name has multiple mythical associations, and that the characters with the name are largely blank slates - little is known about them so you can flesh them out with your imagination and not feel like you're going against cannon.

Pallas seems unisex. The only thing that I dislike about it is the similarity to the word palace.
