I too wrote code to help with picking baby names with each of my children. Popular but not too popular was a hard requirement when bisecting the SSN data base.
One hard thing was not realizing how many variants there were of the name we picked for my daughter. We ended up picking a more popular name than we sort of intended.
Naming twins was also extra hard because of the added requirement that the 2 names were of similar “stature” (or “coolness” or something hard to define).
This is an interesting thing I had never considered. There would be fascinating consequences for having twins, naming one Kip and the other Themistocles Aurelius.
