But, wasn't it intended as a symbolic foreshadowing of death and burial? It was, if I'm not mistaken, an antiseptic embalming herb! Not at all what you'd expect as a name for an ordinary baby, though it could be good as an alias chosen for a purpose by an adult fictional character. I haven't read the book it comes from, so this might not fit in ...
