DP but I still really like it and don't hear it for kids much (or at all? don't think I've met a Vincent or Vince).

To be honest, there's such diversity in names at this point that once you are outside the top 10-20, it's hard to argue a name is overused. Ocasionally there's a geographic micro trend where you meet a bunch of kids with a name that is not technically a "top" name but for some reason extremely popular where you live (in recent years, my neighborhood/wider circle in DC has been enamored of the names Beatrice, Thea, and both Finn and Finley, none of which are hugely popular on the SSN list). But I bet when those kids move outside where they grew up, their names won't feel common. Meanwhile, I haven't met a single Emma, Sophia, or Olivia under the age of 6, despite those being the most popular names.

I guess my point is that a name can be #123 on the list and still feel underused, because to some degree all names are underused, in that people just use a wider variety of names than they once did. I don't think it's possible for a kid born today to feel the way Jasons and Jessicas felt in the 80s and 90s, where it seemed like their names were ubiquitous.[/quote]
