Many kids are not happy having a name that stands out too much- so even if a name is popular in one culture/society (say secular Israeli) but is not popular in the society that she will grow up in, it could be a burden to her. I know kids from American families growing up in Israeli who feel uncomfortable with the names their parents gave them, since although those names are perfectly normal in the US, in the Israeli society they are growing up in they are not used- like Yiddish names, or names that have different connotations in modern Hebrew, or sound like Hebrew words that are not appropriate for names. Sivan could be the same sort of name for your baby if she is not growing up in Israeli secular society.
