Thoughts Please

My husband and I are expecting a little boy (or so we've been told...) in March. We are leaning towards naming him Gavin Michael at the moment, we've still got a few months to be sure.
The middle name will probably be Michael for my husband's middle name, and his father's first name, regardless of our first name choice.

All that being said... I'm not a fan of overly trendy names so Aiden/Brayden/Cayden/Haydon/Jaden etc are out. Do you think Gavin is becoming more popular & trendy, enough that you wouldn't use it, or do you think it would be alright? I don't want my children to end up being known by their last initial because there ends up being so many Gavins (or insert name here) in their school classes.

Here's my personal name chart. I worked in an elementary school in this town that has a huuuge military base, with folks coming and going all year long, so lots of different ethnicities and backgrounds. The school itself had 1000+ kids.

There was ONE Gavin. So to me, that's not an overly trendy name. I think it's a great name!
