Help[Opinions] Re: Hanami (花見)

I wouldn't exactly call Tsumugi OR Sakura old favourites. They have been used in the early 20th century from what I can find on FamilySearch, though it is nothing compared to their current popularity.
In Sakura's case, from douseidoumei.net data, only 123 people (presumably women) with the most common form さくら/サクラ were counted and from my research stemming from namaejiten.com data, it wasn't even popular at the start of the Heisei period, placing within the bottom quarter of the top 200 in the 1990 (at around 0.110%) and it only started becoming more popular in the mid and late 1990s.
In Tsumugi's case, it was uncommonly used (though it did rise throughout the 90s and 00s) up until the last several years.
