If you're that hard up for choosing a name, there is actually a random premade name generator built into character creation that you can use to choose a clan-accurate name for your character.
To be fair, even this isn't a guarantee. When I was making alts to test out looks for fantasias, I'd hit the random name generator and I came across a bunch of names already used. It could be bad luck, but I ended up having to generate around 10 names before I found one combo unused. And since a few of the races have naming conventions based on real life, someone can also inadvertently steal your original name too, if you both did your research (aka read the same Wikipedia list. )
