One of the reasons movies and novelists pay people whose name is the
same as a character, is, in the event of a lawsuit, they can point to
the "real person", from whom they obtained a "model release", for the
use of the name.

It doesn't matter how "unusual" you think a name is, somebody,
somewhere, will have that name.
