It's not that its merely popular or becoming popular. It's that a name that charts all of a sudden out of nowhere is usually part of a "trend" rather than a true classic, and is likely to feel dated once the fad passes. Give me all the popular classic names such as Samuel, Luke, Alexander, Amelia, Elizabeth, Rose that are all very highly ranked but I do not want a trendy name that will date my child and Elowen feels very much the latter. That's just my personal opinion, no one is harmed by a trendy name they just aren't for me.
