Do you think a movie influences a name?

I have a beautiful daughter, Audrey Katelyn, who is 10 months old. I am thinking about #2 (I want to start TTC when she's around 2 or so). But I love the name Charlotte and really think I would use that if I had another girl.
Charlotte's Web is now in the theaters (with Dakota Fanning as Fern). I absolutely adore that story. But I am worried that Charlotte will skyrocket. Do you think movies influence how popular a name is?
On a side note...I also love the name Sophia. I would probably pair it with Charlotte. I prefer the Sophia spelling, but my ln is Hafer. So would Sofia Hafer look better? (with the f's?) Or is Sophia Hafer okay?
My fav is the combo Charlotte Sophia.

I think that charlotte sophia is as amazing name but I can also understand your concern with the movie out right now. My thought is to use the baby name wizard here on Ivillage to gauge it's popularity and it's trendiness. The link is

I was talking to DH about just that! I said that I thought that Charlotte would skyrocket in about 10 years tho-giving those girls time to grow up and start having babies of their own.

Charlotte is already skyrocketing in the Boston area. It's been in the top 100 in Massachusetts since 2001, and I personally know 6 Charlottes under the age of 4. (I must add that the name sounds hideous with a Boston accent ("Shaaah-lit") so it's frequent usage here is surprising.)
However, Charlotte Sophia is a lovely, lovely name and if you adore it, then use it!!
I think Charlotte was already on the way up because of Sex in the City.
