For Richard I got:
Richard I of England
I saw the suggestion of hammond though.
Searching for Wayne brings up Rooney, but if you do trends and put him up against Lil Wayne it seems Lil Wayne is more searched for...
What shows up first in listings isn't always the most searched for.

I have been putting in the name then letting the autocomplete make the suggestions then looking at number of results. So Wayne brings up 3,800,000 results followd ny Waynes World gets 1,610,000 results

Doint it that way, taking ricahrd for example:
Richard shows:
Dawkins 2,800,000
Nixon 5,960,000
Thompson 8,730,000
Hammond 9,190,000
But if you put Richard the - you get:
Richard the second 142,000,000
As for the above post Louis Vuitton shows 17,500,000
this game is highly flawed
