though I think mostly for its historical significance as being the name of the first wife of Muhammad, and at the moment I'm quite interested in the history of Islam. As far as namesakes (or name connections of some sort) I think it'd be a pretty neat one since she was kind of a cool woman.
Though it's not necessarily a name I'd use, I do find it to be very pretty. I'm on a bit of a female Arabic names kick right now. :-)
