Popularity is a really big put off for me -- as a matter of fact, if a name is in the top 200 the thought of using it makes me sick. How big of an impact does a name's popularity have on you?
~ Note: I actually named my son a rather common name, Gabriel (GAY-bree-el). It is DH's father's name, though, so I don't mind it quite as much. I do have the habit of calling him Gabe, instead of Gabriel, despite my distaste for calling a baby by nicknames. . .
