I think there's a difference between "popular" and "trendy". I love names like Anna and Amelia and it's sad that they're so popular, but it won't keep me from using them--although I do intend on using Annabeth as an alternative, since Anna really is so commonly used. But, yeah. It's a factor, but not the only one.
I plan on using Annabeth as a middle name for Claire, because Anna = my best friend, and Elizabeth = my great grandmother, so it's a great way to honor them both without using both full names.
