thoughts vs. on name

What do you think of the name Berenike? It is the original Greek form of Berenice/Bernice, it means "bearer of victory" and it was used in ancient Egypt's Ptolemaic dynasty. We know it is an uncommon name, but we love its meaning, its historical depth, the nickname possibilities that it offers (Niki/Nika, Beri, etc.) and the fact that it is part of both our heritage. But even though we like it, we are also considering that due to how uncommon it is, it might not receive very "complimentary" comments. Thus, we would absolutely love to get some outside opinions and hear what you think? Thank you!

Help! I love the name Guinevere, but I can't think of a really good brother and sister name for her. Since Guinevere is so empowering, I want the next names to be powerful as well. Thanks, Genie!
Baby Name Genie:
You seek the Holy Grail of names. Let me help you in your quest. The brother of fair Guinevere will fight on foot with swords aplenty, but on his horse he'll surely lance a lot. Name him Edward for a regal name. A sister could be dubbed Katherine if greatness is what you desire.
