Sometimes names are written differently so that it is recognised as a name. My friend also writes her name in hiragana. It's just the way it's done sometimes. Also, in some mangas, it may be because the kanji used in the name is above the level of the target audience, or it may not be kanji that is taught in schools.
Roughly 2000-2500 are taught in schools, but I believe up to 10000 are actually in the language. It is common for unlearnt kanji to be in peoples names
