As much as I love the name, I agree that it reminds me of the lesbian genre of manga a bit too much for me to ever recommend using it. Perhaps as a middle name, it could work better.

Very nice name, I love it! I believe there is also a Korean name Yuri, as in Yuri, the son of Jumong who founded Goguryeo.
