I think it's fairly frustrating, though, for those who want to use a family name even though it's become popular. For example: my sister and her husband just had a little girl last May and they named her Emma Elizabeth after their grandmas and her husband's mother. Almost everyone in our family knew if it was a girl it would be named Emma because both she and her husband had a grandma named Emma. And, in the past few years, Emma has seen a sudden increase in popularity.
That being said, I will probably stick to more old-fashioned, classic names for whatever children Mr. ISUKappa and I have, and, if possible, use some famiy names somewhere in the fold (though not our last names, I would never curse our kids with the long, German surnames we were blessed with). And I don't mind names that can be shortened as long as it's not too cutesy--they always have the option of going back to the long name as they get older.
