The name has to be changed and therefore adds no points.
We give no examples for this class.
Is my Minecraft name rare?
Type it above. The checker puts it into one of 18 classes, from common word to everyday handle, and shows the points of that class.
What is an OG name?
An OG name is a short, common word that was registered early. We measure it by word frequency: the more common and the shorter the word, the higher the class.
How rare is a 3-letter name?
It depends on the shape: 3 letters, pronounceable: 52 points; 3 letters, random: 45 points; 3 digits: 45 points; 3 characters, mixed: 40 points.

Depends on the game version.
Before 1.20.5 the game finds the skin by name only. From 1.20.5 on the UUID above is enough.
