Excellence seems like a synonym for superiority, supremacy, perfection. Would I want to tell a kid to honor those things? Not really, that'd seem high pressure and elitist. Would I want to encounter someone who was honoring those things? Not really. And I wouldn't like it as the meaning of my own name.

I know there's a more positive, balanced interpretation, but that's not how I react to it.
