Lorelei up on SSA Charts. Concerned.

For all of you who have been with me while I've agonized over the name Lorelei, here's my question. The name has risen significantly on the charts (not surpisingly) from 966 to 802. There were 247 births in 2004 and 316 in 2005. Compared to the use of Emily which was 23,544, it's still not that popular. Should I even be concerned about its rising use? I mean, 802 is still a ways up there. It doesn't look like it will becoming an "Emily" or "Olivia" for quite some time, if ever. I have yet to hear a Lorelei from where I am from, so should I still keep it as a possibility?

802 is pretty low. Use the name you love. I also happen to love Lorelei and would use it if DH would let me. I was dissappointed to find out one of the spellings of DD's name
