Arlo - How popular / trendy exactly is it?

DP and I really like Arlo, but I'm reluctant to give a name that is really trendy or faddy. We live in Scotland and I discovered that last year there were only 17 Arlo's, which is encouraging. Is it really popular in England? Is it seen as a faddy name choice? I know that shouldn't matter if we like it but somehow it does...

I like it and you're far enough away from ghastly Harlow for there to be an association.

I really like it and have only heard it about once or twice recently; however, I'm very much of the school...if YOU like it, don't worry how popular etc it is (says she who was originally adamant we weren't giving our son any top 100 name ;).
