You would get NO traction, in court or anywhere else with that. A "personal name" WITHOUT distinguishing feature(s) CANNOT be trademarked. If that were fact, and my name was John Smith, and I trademarked it, EVERY John Smith would be in violation of using my name whenever they received monetary compensation.
That's nonsensical. A signature name yes, and as I've stated previously, if there is a "distinguishing" feature(s) about the name, then it could, otherwise, you'd never have any remedy in law, or at law, private, or public to enforce it.
