Eh, even names that are "uncommon" could return results for multiple people. I have an uncommon first name and uncommon last name and even still, when googling, there are a few other people with the same combo fn+ln somehow. The world is huge and the internet is even bigger, so I think that's the sort of thing that's not so much an issue and will become even less of one as time goes on.

And while I think a name's popularity should be one of the things taken into account (whether it winds up mattering to you or not), I do think it's ridic to rely too heavily on it. I remember a user on here a while ago who was looking for name suggestions, but didn't want anything in the top 1000, and I was just like... really? I get nixing those names in the top 10, especially those in the top 10 in your specific region, but once you get past, like, the top 20, it's doubtful it'll make a huge difference. Unless you're in a tiny country with a small pool of names, I guess. But even still lol
