I personally really like the name but counted it out because of a) the connection, & b) my DH doesn't like anything "unusual" so I knew it would be out. I think it's a lovely name, so if you like it, go for it.
I like the name, but nope wouldn't use it. I think you will find most Aussies over 30 would know the case. I wouldn't give my child a 'celeb' name, and it is a fairly unique (but lovely) name. Do you know the name because of the case, or did you find that out after looking into the name? Do you feel fine with the name? If you do, then go for it, but expect a lot of people to comment on it.
I now even struggle with the name Madaleine.
I looked up some stats. There were 900 odd Azariah's born in Aus in 2010, so people are using it. Also it is traditionally a boys name.
