Too popular names...?

[kaugomu.livejournal.com]

For those of you who chose to avoid names that tend to be on the popular side of things, where do you draw the line as being "too popular"? Do you go by name ranks, like nothing in the top 20, top 50, top 100, or is it just that you hear the name everywhere so it's too popular? If you use the name ranks, what are you favorite sites to look at and compare, and how many years do you look at?
Just wondering what every one else does.

Our 3 favorite girl names are in the top 100, but they're all down towards the bottom (I think they're all from 70-100). I wouldn't give my child a top 20 name, but that's just me. I'm a top 20 name (actually, #1 name), and I'm not thrilled that it's so popular. But, what can you do?
