We are struggling with the same quandary (or at least my DH is). Our daughter is named after her great grandmother and I want this baby (if she's a girl) to be named after my great grandmother. The problem is even though we both love the name, it's really popular right now (Lily). I would prefer not to have such a popular name, but for me it's more important that our baby have a name that is special and has meaning like our other daughter. My husband however thinks that the fact it's so popular is a deal breaker. My other option is to name her after my grandmother, but that is 'Verna'. As much as I loved my gran... Not a huge fan of the name lol. Although likely never to be popular!
