Thoughts on "trendiness"

[tunknut.livejournal.com]

What makes a name "trendy"?  
Can a name be trendy without being very common?  
Are there certain names you will always think of as "trendy" regardless of their popularity?
Is trendiness necessarily a bad thing?
If your favorite name that you were planning on using suddenly became very trendy, would you be less likely to use it?
What do you think are the trendiest names right now?  Do you like these names?

I'm just curious about what you all think :)
