She later becomes a geisha & gets renamed Sayuri, after the master of the Okiya adopts her, she becomes Nitta Sayuri near the end of the novel/movie.

This Japanese name is wonderful mainly because it has a beautiful meaning and it's easy to pronounce for foreigners. If you have a strong bond with your past generations this would be a great name to consider. Plus, I really don't think it would be hard for a culture other than Japan to accept this name. It rolls off the tongue kindly. =D
