The best are like James and Mary. Names so common they help you blend in and commit crimes.
(Okay not actually my reasoning but I think common names are usually a good choice. Don’t need to be that special you get a unique name)
This can also have the opposite effect. There are a number of cases where the wrong person has been arrested simply for sharing a name with someone else that has a warrant for their arrest.
James and Mary are super neat and combine with every kind of surname. Maybe that’s why they’re so common??
They’re so common in America and Europe because religion mostly if I had to guess. Then from there people often use names from their family and it just kept growing.
You are correct, biblical names stick around because they are written down and people like familiar things.
