Ooh I really like it! I like its pronunciation, how it's written, and all about it. Love it very much! 😍
I like it! It's unique without sounding artificial, and looks lovely written down. It might be a little difficult to pronounce or too "out there" to use as a first name for a child (unless you're feeling brave, in which case I say go for it) but I would definitely recommend it for a middle name or for a character!
I like the sound a lot, but I'd shy away from using it for a kid because the story's so bleak (the "of sorrows" reminds me of Dolores), it's a bit dated, and lots of people would stumble over pronunciation (I say it about like deer-druh , which isn't *exactly* right either)...one of those issues would be okay, but all 3 together would make me hesitate. I'd have no problem with being called it myself, though.
It seems evocative without frills.

I quite like it; not enough to use, though. And a lot of people where I live pronounce it to rhyme with 'tea-tray', which I find unattractive. But, one of the better Irish names.
It's ok
