Is Lucy too popular?

Have been ages trying to decide between Lucy and Louisa. Now DD1 has started preschool and two children are called Lucy, plus two boys called Lucas and one called Luke. Is this just an unfortunate coincidence or is the name overused?
Baby has been around for weeks with only a nickname - I feel like I am failing her with my indecision. Nickname is Lulu. It has been suggested that I just go with that name, but it just does not seem right to let her grow up without a grown up name.

I can only think of two little Lucys.

I have three kids so know loads of other ones unfortunately. I only know one Lucy and she is nearly 11.

There are no Lucys in either of my children's school years (total of 80 kids). Just use it if you like it.

I dont know of any Lucys under 9. and then only 1, and she's the daughter of a friend of a friend...
My bf is called Lucy, but she's 37, so that doesnt count does it :)

Dd is one of only 2 Lucys in a school of 420.

She is in year 4.

I have 3 dcs and don't know a single Lucy in any of their age groups, so I don't think it is too popular. It's a nice name btw, I do know 6 yr old Louisa, like that too. I have a Lulu, or Lottie, short for Charlotte.
