Is Gavin too trendy?

Scarlett&Gatsby

The only Gavin I know is almost 30. It is mentioned on here a lot, though.

Supposedly it is, although I don't know any friends with children named this, and I don't know any friends named this.

It was 50-50 between Gavin and the name we actually chose. We went with a family name.

I don't think so. I like it!

I wouldn't consider it trendy at all. I don't know of many and didn't know it was on the rise. It's a nice name. I like it!

I know 3 Gavins who are 50+, so I don't think of it as trendy at all. 

I think it is increasing in popularity but I don't consider it trendy. Trendy for me means that you can guess what decade a person was born in based on their name and have a strong chance of getting it right- Jackson, anything rhyming with Aiden, etc for 2010s babes.

I only know like 2....I don't consider it trendy.

I think there's a difference between trendy and popular. When I think of trendy names I think of names like Ryder, Jaxson, etc. Gavin was number 20 in my state when we named my DS so relatively popular. Which is why we debated for a long time whether to choose it. We finally did and we have only come across one other Gavin.

FWIW I am really pleased with the name and actually love it.

I only know one. Great name

I would consider it trendy but not popular, if that makes any sense. I like it and would consider it myself

notthecheat

I don't know of any personally either

Very popular where I live. I think it's trendy personally. It's not my favorite name at all. I probably know 10 little Gavins.

I've never known any IRL, but there's something about the name I don't like.. Too preppy? Too jock? I can't put my finger on it..

All of the Gavins I know are adults, except one 15 year old.  I don't know any younger than that.  It's never struck me as trendy, but I don't know how popular it is in other places.

I don't know any, and I rarely see it mentioned here. Go figure

lilies&orchids

I know a few Gavins in the 4-8 year range, I haven't heard it much lately. I think the trend is passing.

I consider the name trendy for sure.  I know at least five friends who have named their sons Gavin in the past 2 years.  It's not a name I would ever consider picking.

I do feel I see a lot of people considering it on here. I have only met a few Gavin's in my life. I work at a children's hospital, I have worked their for 7 years and have only met 2 Gavin's. That being said, I love the name. So much so ds (who is 5 weeks) is named Gavin. I think it is a good strong/masculine name.

I know of 3 in second grade at our school...
