Maggie and especially Will are more commonly used as nicknames, so I don't think this link would provide the full picture.
It may be more helpful to search for Margaret and William, but even so, it would not be accurate since you can't judge what percentage of those people use Maggie/Will as nicknames, instead of going by their full name or an alternative nickname (Bill / Liam / Billy, Peggy / Maisie / Meg...).

Yes but I think it's saying something about how "normal" they sound if they are being used even as full names.
