The name isn't horrible, and I know it's an actual name, but it sounds like a random pairing of mildly pleasant sounds put together. I sure wouldn't want it for my name now; anytime someone asked their phone something I'd look around wondering who was talking to me. That would get very tiring very quickly.
Before you criticize a man, walk a mile in his shoes. That way, when you criticize him, you're a mile away and you have his shoes!
