You'd have no control over if the name you've chosen will become popular in the future. How would you feel then? What if, by the time your child goes to school, there will be other children with the same name as your child? Would you still feel sick about it?

If I had already named my child, and the name became popular after my baby was born, I would only be put off if a close friend or family member named their child by the same name. I'm not really sure why, I just know that after Gabe was born one of my best friends decided that she adored the name Gabriel, pronounced the same way, and it gave me a twitch every time she brought it up.
