On more recent shows anyway, Malcolm is a really popular name for TV characters. FOX's titular Malcolm in the Middle, Prodigal Son whose main character is named Malcolm, and Malcolm on The Neighborhood. I don't know any Malcolms who I have come across in my real life though.

A long time ago I knew a dog named Barney. But now that you mention it, I don't recall knowing any human Barneys either.

Phoebe is a very popular TV name. Never met a real-life Phoebe.

I've never known any men named Frasier or Niles. And I've never known any women named Daphne, Maris, or Roz either. But my Mom had a female relative named Daphne but she died years before I was born.

I remembered I know a married couple with several children and one of their daughters is named Phoebe. But then I've never known a woman named Ursula (Phoebe's twin sister on Friends).
