Bort
Are you talking to me?
No, my son is also named Bort
Don't do it! Novelty license plates for that name are always sold out. I've been trying to find one for 30 years.
I was visiting someone at Yale, and as we were walking through town I saw a car with an actual BORT license plate.
I was the only one who got a kick out of it though.
It was 2 phones ago, so not sure where the picture lives these days, but I have proof somewhere!
Found it!

SomethingUncommon
Not sure how uncommon you're looking for, but I think I already did this.
I chose Sage.
According to some quick googling (read: not sure how accurate this is), Sage wasn't in the top 500 names for my birth year, but my given name was top 100.
Though both names I've used have been trending towards more common for most of my life. Looks like my original name is now a top 35 most common, but Sage is still outside the top 100 for females and outside top 300 for males.(Really wish there was more data for the popularity of nonbinary names. I think Sage is probably one of the more popular enby names, so maybe it's not all that uncommon, depending on how you define it.)
Okay, but are you a lawyer?
Lol. Yes I am! How did you know?? π
I get a sense about people.
Cool name. I have nothing productive to add, but Sage against the machine just came to me as I was reading your comment. Please feel free to do with it as you wish.
Something old, like a name from Sumer, Akkad, Elam, maybe something Hittite.
Epirmupi, Shamsaki, Puzur-Inshushinak, Ninurta, Lugalzagasi, Tiglath-Pileser, Hattusili, Suppiluliuma.
Ea-nΔαΉ£ir! π
I would absolutely trust someone with this name in commercial dealings.

Dekkia.
I already use that name everywhere online, might as well put it on my passport.
New full name: Theophrastus Bombastus
That would be first and last. Not just first name

I'm loving the creativity here! To me though, "uncommon" implies that it's not like completely unheard of either. so, my choice would be "Midge"
That's just Jim backwards.
Thanks, I hate it lol
Nebuchadnezzar. It has an air of nobility about it and no-one would be able to spell it, ever.

Batman bin Suparman
Or this one: 
I've already got a name that puts me quite comfortably in the 1% of names used in my country. It's not as cool to have a uncommon name as you think. It's easy to get picked on, you never can buy those souvenir mugs or keyrings with 'your name' and it gets misspelled.
I mean I've written a book where my name is on the cover and one review managed to misspell it...
Otoh. I once met someone on holiday in Ireland that said 'i one met a kid with that name and it was in Croatia, about ten years ago'.
That kid was me. If I had a more common name we'd never have known.

I always thought Ziggy was a cool name.
Donβt change your name to that unless you play guitar. As a non-musical man who gets compared to John Lennon a lot, Iβm doing you a favor.

Octavious Shitwagon
I always thought that Fox was a cool name for a dude ever since I watched the X-Files. If I had to change my first name, that's what I'd pick.

Throckmorton. Saw it in an example problem in my highschool physics textbook and I still think about it
