I've heard it IRL and liked it. I've read it for a character in a book and liked it. I like peace symbolism and bird names. I think I'd probably like it, if it were my name. Still...I can't imagine myself using it, for basically the same reasons I'd never use
Jewel or
Pearl - it's not as blatant as Darling or Petal would be, but it sounds almost like an endearment to me.
It could also be a NN for Doveva (

The only combos that immediately came to mind were
Dove Zenobia and
Dove Wilhelmina.
