Daydream seems like a namier meaning than awake. The bugle sound is too silly as a name reference. "You've got to get up, you've got to get up, you've got to get up in the morning!"
But I sort of like the meaning "awake," and it does have a namey enough sound IMO..
My problem (and I am probably in the minority) is that when it's a name, I'm really strongly inclined to see it as "reh-VAY" along the same lines as Mireille. If it's pronounced "revelly" as a name it seems wrong to me.
