The name is even worse: whilst having a stark look-alike grab someone immediate attention, dropping a not so uncommon japanese name in the pack would just mark a "huh".
Name alone wouldn't exactly work as a "shocker" for Okabe, especially when homophones are legions regardng japanese names.
Look by itself is much more effective, especially in the circumstances they have used here. And if it was just an easter egg, it makes even more unlikely that a look-alike shows up without being connected to Suzuha.
