Actually, JKR did a pretty good job with names, because many/most of them
would not be common. Draco, Sirius, Bellatrix, Narcissa. And those are just
first names. Some of her names were great! It's not too unlikely for their
to be a Katie Bell in the world, but try finding someone with the name
Bilious (Ron's middle name). It did amuse me how some names were perfectly
normal and others were way out there in the series.
