My daughter is 2 and when I named her I should probably have noticed her name was about to soar in popularity but was not aware of the need to look for trends in charts as opposed to just the position of the name. Her name is pronounced Isla although spelled slightly differently (for well researched reasons). It is a name I have loved for years, we are Scottish but live in England. I have just had my second dc, a boy and I think a combination of sleep deprivation, hormones and nostalgia for the whole pregnancy/naming experience is making me obsess over her name and wish we had gone for one of my other choices, which were less common (in reality, it was our favourite name at the time and my partner refused to consider alternatives). I am worried this obsession is becoming unhealthy and need someone to put it into perspective - I am just worried she might blame me in future for giving her a v popular name (or she might not care!)
Sorry for long post, would like to know if anyone else has had similar experiences or regretted a name for whatever reason.
