[Harry Potter] Would it have been more productive if Voldemort made Harry's name taboo

We learn near the end of the great Wizarding War that Voldemort made his name taboo so that any who dared speak his name would be quickly found and killed. Obviously, he did this for two reasons. 1, to create fear, as most people were already scared to speak his name and now anyone who did would be killed. But secondly, people who would speak it would most likely be part of the order so they could find more info on Harry. But wouldn't it work even better if he made Harry's name taboo? Are there limitations on naming taboos? can you not do someone else's name?

No one really knows where the Taboo came from. We have absolutely no idea how it works. Fan-canon points to it being a personal invention of Voldemort's, but again, we simply don't know. Therefore the only real way to answer this question is (you guessed it) to wildly speculate. 

Harry Potter is a common enough name that you would get unfortunate misfires irritatingly often. In addition to that, most people close to him are going to use his first name, which is even more common. Seriously, the one person who refers to Harry by his full name the most is Voldemort. Not entirely helpful. The first two points combined open up a 3rd possibility; Resource allocation. The Death Eaters had to deploy "Snatchers" to round up every instance of someone saying "Voldemort." Can you imagine how many people they would have needed to check up on every instance of people saying "Harry Potter?" Even with Ministry resources, it seems a bit outside of their scope. 

Voldemort's name already had a stigma on it. Telling people it's illegal to say Voldemort's name is basically telling them not to do something they already weren't doing. As you pointed out, at that stage, the only people left using the V word were members of the order. And while the Death Eaters did manage to (temporarily) capture Harry with the taboo, its true goal was just to cast a wide net. Finding Harry was a happy coincidence.
