Other meanings for the name come up when one uses different kanji. Check comments on "Yumi" or "Yuki" for kanji for "yu" and "ri" is most commonly "village" or "science", but there are a couple others if you check the comments on "Sayuri".In my years in Japan, I met lots of Yuris (mostly schoolgirls) and never heard it as a negative reference.
