If you keep the name, justify it in story.
Remember, it's not a name you're choosing. You're also choosing the reactions of other Miqo'te when they meet your character. There's never going to be a point wherein you won't have to explain it in character -- each new Miqo'te has an equal chance of asking it and pestering about it for good or for ill. If that's something that you like - proving yourself to others time and again that there's no such thing as a "real Miqo'te" and that you're just as much Miqo'te as them? That's fine. If you don't mind traditionalist Miqo'te potentially disliking your character on general principle upon hearing your name? That's fine, too.
If that sort of thing would frustrate you, I suggest changing it.
No matter what anyone says about "nice" or what not... that's something that's likely to happen IC. And it's not people being mean, jerks, or passive-aggressive... but there are PLENTY of characters that are going to react that way. And I've seen people get frustrated because they continually had to prove themselves time and again to each new person that came in.
So... again, if you're chill with that, go for it. It's interesting. If you're not? Don't.
