Not pregnant, or TTC. Just like names. I have lists. (Most like pry almost everyone else here.)

GIRLS
- Emily
- Amelia
- Samaire (Sah-mee-rah)

BOYS
- Michael
- Ryan
- Danté
- Noble (Fiances great-grandfathers name [i.e. don't love it, but it has meaning.])

Ideally in the future I'd like to only have one child, boy or girl (I am pretty neutral at this point). My absolute favorite names are Emily & Michael but they are so popular. I like them, but I don't want my child to be Emily S./Michael S. all their life.

Should popularity be a deciding factor when it comes to names?

i dont think that popularity should be a deciding factor when you are naming your kid.
maybe i am saying this because i grew up with a pretty uncommon name and i hated it. i have never known any other girl with my name and i so wanted to be a sabrina or a jessica.. but well, when i grew older i realized that it is not nice when there are 3 other girls in your class with the same name.

so i will definitely give my future child the name i like. no matter how many other people are naming their kid with same name.
