I like it. If I remember correctly, I don't think it's a popular one amongst people on this site, but I think it's a cool name. I've only known one
Dawson and he's 20...a pretty rare name for someone his age. It seemed to jump up drastically in popularity in the late 90's, and now it's going down again. I wouldn't consider it trendy though, since it never exceeded #136 in the US.
