Oh yes, they should be present and searchable. My comment merely
alluded to the fact that common names are often ambiguous and
non-specific.

A database of common names linking them with scientific names and
the geographic area in which each common name is used could be a
useful thing. Of secondary importance to the guild analysis engine
though.
