Yes, it *is* the archetypal common name (good way of putting it ...), and that does bother me very much. I feel that everyone has a right to a name that's special to them, and I doubt John, Anne etc. would work that way because they're so generic.

Although this won't always be the case, I tend to imagine that the parents of Johns simply couldn't be bothered taking the time to think, and so chose the most obvious "boy name" there is.
