I would jsut hate - and please forgive me if this comes across wrong - for your baby girl to be a larger lady, larger boned, or even just a naturally rounder person...and have people turn a pop-culture coincidence into an opportunity for cruelty. It could be the same if she ended up being a super super small kid.
We can't name our kids for bullies, you know? We can't push aside really lovely names because they could be rhymed with something or shortened to something that rhymes with "snot" or whatever....but some things are sooo on the line and I think that Godzilla is just TOO big a an "icon", you know? Stupid, narrow minded people are going to ignore the lovely, old fashioned name and jump right to the dumbest thing "haha, you mean, as in GODzillah??" - just such a pain in the tail.
I'm sorry to say all this...I personally think that it's a very, very lovely name.
