https://www.behindthename.com/top/lists/canada/1920
I found out this two name in the top 10 in Canada 1920. Is this real or just a mistake?

It's just abbreviations put on birth certificates/official records probably. The J. would have been John or James, the M. would have been Mary or Margaret, and so forth.
