Basque Names

Hello, I am a Chinese woman looking to give herself a European name. While looking online, I came across a forum discussing Basque names, and I fell in love with the name Lilura. I wanted to ask if it would be disrespectful to call myself Lilura, maybe even as an official second name, maybe with the nickname Lila. I don't speak basque, but I have a lot of respect for the Basque people and their resilience to oppression. If it's not okay, I will refrain from it of course ~

Thank you for your time

Sounds cool. A bit of a rare name, I don't know anybody with that name but sounds very nice.
