A special Google search that is restricted to the single name pages of the BtN site might be useful here. E.g. enter the following into the Google search box:

---

"English (rare)" site:behindthename.com/name

---

I did not find a way to let Google find only pages that exactly contain the string "(rare)". If you search for

---

"(rare)" site:behindthename.com/name

---

you also get pages that speak about rare names in the name descriptions, i.e. containing "rare" without ().

No, there is no search that will bring up only those names. However, that is a good point, there should be a search within usages.
