[quote=Anonymous]I would not call it wildly popular, though it's certainly not obscure.

Currently #40 on the SSN list, which is high but not absurdly so (anything out of the top 20 is not going to be overwhelmingly common). It's also been holding pretty steady around that number for the last 6 years, instead of continuing to climb. So it might have hit its peak popularity.

Also, Nameberry tracks interest in names on their website, and it's actually lower on their list than on the SSN -- #72. Since this is related to how many people are looking up the name on their site, it can be a predictor of whether a name might be poised to skyrocket. That number doesn't really says that it is.

One thing I'd do if you are concerned about it being an over-saturated name is look at the SSN lists for your state on their site. If you're in the DMV, look at Maryland and Virginia, too. If you have a lot of family in a state, look there as well. And then look at California, New York, and Texas, maybe Illinois. Sometimes the state lists can reveal a name trend before it hits the the national level. I also recommend looking back a few years as well, just to see which direction it's headed in at the state level.[/quote]
