A rare name is one used by fewer than 20 people. A common name is one used by more than 500 people.

Interior Minister Igor Taro says that a person can decide for themselves whether they want a very common or a rare name.

Fred Puss from EKI says that people already have a wide choice of surnames from their ancestors.
Puss adds that taking a very rare name is not a good choice.
