I don't know how many parents I've met that named their daughter Emily that told me "I thought it was so lovely and unique, but now that she's in school there are four in her class!" Little wonder, because it's been in the top three names for several years now, swapping first and second places several times. And before that it was in the top 10 and top 25 for around a decade. It IS a lovely name, but no longer unique.
It also points out some things to consider in naming your kids: things like sibling names that go well together, and those that don't. If your first daughter is Isabella (now #2) and you name your next daughter Blake, is Blake a boy or a girl, or did you just create an automatic tomboy? Or what if you name her Mildred? Who are boys going to want to go on a blind date with, Isabella or Mildred? Or if your son is Rocco, can you give him a brother named Percy?
Nameberry also trends created names, and helps you not to fall into a pit.

I own almost all of their books and used them to name my kids. I get compliments on my kids' names almost every time I introduce them.

The site is run by the author of a book called "The Baby Name Wizard." It has a lot of good info about what names mean and what names are popular and what names have been popular in the past.
I especially encourage you to check out her NameVoyager application that shows the popularity of names over the years.

Baby Genie allows you to create a "baby name" at random - you can put a surname in to help. It can create some very impressive first and middle names for a boy or girl.
After trying it by putting my surname in (this is optional) - I got the name Christopher (not my real name). Which seems to fit with my surname.
Just try it - and notice the genie moves in the picture below!
