How to approach it
Skip the famous faces and draft the roster from scratch. Split the map into the largest population blocks and, inside each, list the stock given names a registry clerk would see daily. Then push past your first few ideas, because those are precisely where the crowd lands. Legitimate entries also include transliterated forms of names written in non-Latin scripts, and those are far less contested. Treat masculine and feminine versions of one root as separate tries, and remember that devout families often reuse compound or honorific-style forenames. Collect about a dozen candidates from different regions before committing, and pick the one that feels least familiar to an English-speaking audience, since obscurity is what the scoring rewards.
Get a hint
Notice that the official reveal holds close to a thousand entries, so the net is wide: you are hunting the vast middle ground of ordinary given names rather than one celebrated figure.
A little more
Weight your guesses toward traditions with huge populations and narrow naming stocks, where a handful of forenames repeats across millions of people generation after generation.
One step further
Then sort by how foreign the form feels: shapes that sound unfamiliar to an English-speaking ear tend to land in the top band, while the few globally known forenames sink to the bottom.

Why these answers count
Points fall away from familiarity. The lone hundred-point entry, Krzysztof, is a Slavic form that few outsiders would ever produce, which is why nothing else shares its tier. Right below sits the wide 85-point band of 492 answers — Abdel, Abdullahi, Aminata, Ayşe, Bernadette, Bharat — each extremely ordinary where it is used and almost invisible to an English-language guesser. That band carries most of the value: scriptural names, West African and South Asian staples, Central Asian and Eastern European forms, plus clipped transliterations that read like fragments. The 60-point shelf, 374 entries, holds names that are common yet still regionally marked, while the small remainder below it is made up of the globally ubiquitous standbys that surface first in any brainstorm. The order therefore inverts popularity: the more likely a choice is to be someone's opening thought, the less it pays, and the odd-feeling pick wins.
