oh how I love the meaning behind the name. While I’d personally probably use it as a middle, if you like it more as a first, I’d say go for it.
It’s a beautiful and unique name, and your daughter would definitely love the reasons why you chose it.
Although, I’m a big fan of [name_f]Honey[/name_f], especially as a middle. I think it’s so sweet (no pun intended lol) and adorable. So that’s definitely another option!!
(also, I’m so very sorry for your loss)
