Hmmm... I know a lot of young Heathers here, so I don't know who told you that one. Young Heathers are not uncommon and older Heathers are not common. It's not an overall common name, so... yeah, I don't know.
It still feels dated. It is a name which will always be claustrophobically dated. Ick, says the person who had to suffer horrible Heathers. I just feel it feels old, so maybe there's a feeling that it's old here in the UK, even if the trends don't necessarily mirror that.
I have a semi-paralysed or severely-traumatised, medical mystery friend who's trying to learn to walk again through therapy... I love your Rocky story! It's a great nickname for someone who fights so hard for so little that it's scary, and having seen it first hand, people like that are soooo amazing, impressive and vulnerable-tough, they should all get awesome nicknames. And medals. I wish my friend could steal Rocky as a nickname. It's such tearjerking bravery and awesomeness, and you get the impression that if they -can- overcome it, they will try their damnest to do so, even if it means overcomming impossible odds... so I think that it's a really fitting and really rather lovely nickname.
