I think the reason for the negative votes might be because it's one of those names that's been overdone in romance novels.

I voted against it b/c it's a word with a negative connotation. Even if you tell people that it means "warrior's shield," many people (myself included) will only associate it with kidnappings and paying a ransom.

Sorry I couldn't be more positive.
