Wishing I hadn't looked at the 2012 ONS charts

Had finally decided on Leo for a boy (due in 8 days). It was number 27 in 2011 and I would have preferred it to be less popular but really like it and don't know any Leos (we're in Norfolk).

In the 2012 charts it's gone up to number 20. Not that much of a difference really but I feel really bothered by it. Now I wish I hadn't looked as I think it's a bit ridiculous to be ruled by popularity so much, rather than just personal taste.
Anyone else had a similar experience, and do you know many baby Leos?

9 years ago when I named my son, his name was number 16... The last few years its been in the top 3-4! It's the gamble you take... With my son I've adored the name since I was a child (Charlie and the chocolate factory was my favourite book) and I would never have called him anything else. So go with a name you love and regardless how popular it will be and all will be fine! :-)
