Is it possible to read 安 as しずか _shizuka_? Kanshudo.com has this pronunciation
as an additional reading for a surname:

<https://www.kanshudo.com/name/%E5%AE%89>

I wanted to do some research before asking you all this question, so I already
checked on Jisho.org and Wiktionary where the only readings that were
mentioned were:

> Kun: やす.い、 やす.まる、 やす、 やす.らか  
>  On: アン
>
> Go-on: あん (an, Jōyō)  
>  Kan-on: あん (an, Jōyō)  
>  Kun: やすい (yasui, 安い, Jōyō); やすらか (yasuraka, 安らか); やすんじる (yasunjiru, 安んじる);
> いずくんぞ (izukunzo, 安んぞ)  
>  Nanori: あ (a); あす (asu); あず (azu); あっ (a'); や (ya)

What adds to my confusion is that 静か ('quiet') seems to be the normal way to
write しずか.

I'm taking an uneducated guess that this reading for 安 must be uncommon,
because neither Jisho.org nor Wiktionary have しずか as a possible reading. So is
it possible to read 安 as しずか for a surname, even though 静か is the normal way
of writing the adjective 'quiet'? Would 安 (しずか) as a surname be too strange or
weird, or just uncommon?

The characters appearing in the 戸籍 _koseki_ (family register) are [publicly
accessible](http://houmukyoku.moj.go.jp/KOSEKIMOJIDB/M01.html). As far as I
can tell, one cannot search how common a name is, or in what combinations they
appear. But from this data we can rule out that 安 is a surname with reading
しずか. 安 is listed with the following readings:
