App name not valid but also not on app store

App Store Connect says that the name for my app is taken, but when I search on the App Store, there aren't any apps with that name. Is this a bug? Is there a way to contact Apple so that we can claim the name we'd like? Thank you!

The most likely possibilities: 1) there's another app with the same name that hasn't been published to the App Store yet, such as still in development OR 2) An app with that name has been removed from sale (i.e., removed from the App Store, voluntarily or involuntarily) but is still in the publisher's account.
