Maybe as a nn? I probably wouldn't make it anyone's legal name though. Even if I think that pigeons look neat and that their resilience and adaptability are admirable, the truth is most people, myself included, felt murderous rage towards pigeons at least once in their life. And like, their resilience is so admirable because we purposefully create environments hostile to them, the pigeons survive in defiance of us, despite hardships we put them through. We've created them, orphaned them, and now we shun them. So I would certainly wonder what symbolism the parents were aiming for. Or did they just think it was funny back when the child was still a baby because of all the poop? I would certainly have questions.

But I like the sound and I think I could respect someone going "this is my daughter, Pigeon, I named her that because I want her to defy god himself". That's sound reasoning. But I'd still worry about people's perceptions of the name in her day-to-day life.
