Not absolutely, but it sure is more convenient than the search engine if someone is referred to without a surname in a comic, since that can give a huge amount of results with multiple chars appearing in multiple comics. Even with a rare a name as Candice I missed a couple. There is Candace Jean Gennaro (New Earth) who also has "Candice" appearing on her page, assuming the I might be a typo though... but I'm not sure. Do you know which ep in DCAU Candice is referred to as Candace with an A instead of I?

Usually if that happens and I know the issue the comic is from I'll check it's article and search for the name there, but there are cases when someone might see a panel from a comic and simply know that it's DC, in which case they have to do a generalized search.

With 2500+ in Category:Disambiguation Pages perhaps some day we could do "Forenames" (first or middle) or "Surnames" subcategories to organize some disambiguation pages on known traits about them? Though that could lead to some overlap since some names could have been used as either.
