Fred was the closest to being common but it would have been someone’s dad’s name not a kids name. Obviously no one was named Shaggy. Velma would have been someone’s grandma’s name. I doubt if anyone born after WW2 would have that name. Daphne has always been an uncommon name but not completely unheard of.
No, they’re boomer names, I would guess because that’s who was creating it. I’m gen x so I was watching that stuff, all my buddies had names like Brian, Mike, Bill lol.

I had several of most. Although no Shaggy
I’ve never met anyone with the same name. I don’t think I even know a Fred.
