Is Ariella strange for a non-Jewish child?

Really hung up on this beautiful Hebrew name, I have a strong affinity for very feminine names as you can see from my previous threads! However, we are not Jewish, so would this be a weird name for a child who is not Jewish? I have read somewhere that Ariel was the old name for Jerusalem, which doesn't bother me at all but would it seem strange to others?

Girl at school called Arielle is definitely not Jewish if that helps.

No, I didn't know it was a Hebrew name. In any case, huge numbers of girls have Hebrew names - Sarah, Rebecca, Rachel, Leah, Elizabeth...
