Xi is most definitely not a common last name, I’ve yet to encounter a single person with that surname in China besides Xi Jinping. Mu (穆) on the other hand is far more common and yet it wasn’t skipped. If you look at most common surnames https://www.wikiwand.com/en/List_of_common_Chinese_surnames https://www.wikiwand.com/en/List_of_common_Chinese_surnames then Mu is ranked at 188, whereas Xi is nowhere to be found. Xi was solely skipped due to Xi Jinping.
