Re: John...

True, but people's notions of 'common' don't only cover the last couple of years. We've all known (and known of) so many Johns throughout our lives that it's only natural it feels generic now.

That's valid, but honstly, a young John and a young Jonathan would encounter about the same amount of people sharing their name. And I don't know all that many Johns of any generation. Don't know that many Marys either.
