To give my child an ungoogleable name?

[MrsMogginsMinge]

Admittedly I'm only about five minutes pregnant, so this is still at the level of a general muse rather than a real dilemma.

DH has a charming, plain, frequently occurring (especially in Wales) surname, which sounds like a first name. You know the sort of thing. My taste in first names is pretty conservative, especially for boys - I like the old school classics, preferably biblical (despite being a godless atheist myself). So future DC is likely to be one of many many people with his or her name.

Is this condemning him or her to a life of mediocrity or secretly a stroke of genius? I'm convincing myself that the greatest gift one could give a child of the 21st century is relative internet anonymity. AIBU?

(Yes, I know, we should just choose a name we like. But I'd be interested to hear thoughts)

Before I got married I was the only living person with my name as far as I could tell and thus very easy to Google. Now I have quite a common name. There are good and bad things to both. On one hand, I feel I now have more privacy online; on the other I worry that I could be confused with other people in administrative matters and have lost some of my identity. So I can't say what's best; perhaps an unusual middle name (I have none as my parents thought my surname enough of a mouthful when I was born) would be a good idea.

Another advantage...

A friend of mine has the same full name as a teen film character. We got free stuff from the youngsters behind the tills at a recent event, just because he had to give his name for something
