Leo popularity

Struggling to narrow down a name for our incoming boy. We both like Leo and it goes well with our last name, but one criterion we have is trying not to use a name that will end up super duper popular with multiples in a class. It’s not a hill we’ll die on, but we’re trying to avoid if possible. Leo is currently 19 or so on the SSA list. For those of you who are out in the child care world, do we see this rapidly increasing in popularity or staying someone stable? Do we think Leo be the next Liam/Noah?

Since we both like it but it’s not our absolute must have name (wish we had one ugh), wanted to see what others think on its trend upwards/downwards.
