Another 須 name today for three in a row! The bottom name, 分須, is read Wakesu. It belongs to only about 330 people in the whole country, in contrast to the top name, 松村 Matsumura (covered here), which belongs to about 123,000.

分 is a useful character with a bunch of meanings. It often means a minute of time (in which case it's read フン, ブン, or プン) or a segment/part/share of something (read ブ). You should also know it in 分ける (わ.ける) to split or divide up, 分かれる (わ.かれる) to fork/branch, 分かる (わ.かる) to understand, or 申し訳 (もうしわけ) apology/excuse.

須, which is made up of 頁 leaf/page and 彡 bristle/beard. It means ought, necessarily, or by all means, or sometimes beard. It's usually read ス, but for full credit, it's also すべから.く, すべし, ひげ, まつ, もち.いる, もと.める, or シュ.
