Can I name our daughter Shiloh?

I am Jewish, and since I the mother am Jewish my children are automatically considered Jewish (my husband is not). I'd like to honor that, as expected, with a Jewish name, if I can. However I can't find many that I like. Shiloh is actually Hebrew, and means his gift. I think it's beautiful, however nobody I tell it to likes it because of Angelina and Brad Pitt. My question is...do they really "own" that name? I mean by time my child is in school 5 or 6 years from now...and I mean nobody at 5 or 6 will know them so really it isn't a concern til much later...would they really get teased for it?
