If you're looking for 1600s or 1700s, everything in The Crucible is a safe bet:
John
Samuel
Thomas
Giles
Ezekiel
George
&
Elizabeth / Betty
Abigail
Susannah
Ann
Mary
Mercy
Rebecca
Sarah
Those are just from the play. Then you have names like Peter, Benjamin, Rachel, Catherine / Katherine... Basically, you want super-Biblical, plus (if this is Anglophone) Renaissance England mainstays.
