It's a very ethnic name. Giving it to a baby will label her as Jewish, whether she is or not. But it is a beautiful name. It reminds me of my cousin who was going to have a little boy and thought "Levi" would be a great name. Of course, it didn't really match is very Portuguese last name and lots of people bit their tongues (including her husband). In the end, he ended up being named after his dad's favorite football player. Sometimes good sense wins out over whimsy.

Shoshana is Hebrew for Lily.
When we named our son Joshua 30 years ago it was a unique name. Now, it's the third most popular male baby name in the USA and the "Jewishness" of the name has been lost.
It's far more important that you like it, the name sounds well with your surname, and that the combination of names doesn't lead to an embarrassing nickname.
