Is choosing a trending name a bad idea?

Meghann

I really wanted a unique name for our baby girl but the name both my husband and I really love is starting to trend everywhere. Since we discussed names I’ve seen two friends of friends name their babies what we were thinking. I’ve also started to see it posted a lot here or in trending baby name lists. I grew up with several other kids in my class with my name and it can be pretty irritating at times. I don’t want that for my girl but I also don’t know if there’s actually going to be a bunch of kids with her name or if it’s just getting more popular in general but not so much that there’s six kids in one class with that name. What do you guys think about naming your baby something popular?
