I would assume so, plus the amount of people with the name on social media, such as Facebook and LinkedIn. If a website with 2.27 billion active users like Facebook only has 5 people with first name X, you can rest assured that it's too rare for inclusion in the main database. Such names will only ever be fit for the Submitted Names Database, which is fine usually, since it's intended to be a supplement to the main database.
