Ofc Mohammed is the most common name but thats a name common within the muslim community. I have noticed the name Sarah in every country, regardless of race or religion. Or it might be an abrahamic religion thing but thats most of the world atleast.

I suspect other Abrahamic names might make the cut.

I don't know about first names, but as for middle names, I've noticed a 75% chance your middle name will be James if you're a guy and Marie if you're a woman. I also attended school somewhere where, I kid you not, every shop owner and public service manager was named either John or Julie.

On the other hand, if your parents give you the middle name of Wayne, an FBI file is opened immediately.

I'm surprised you don't see more FBI agents in Gotham. It's a cesspool of crime, you'd think at least one person would at least be raided by a swat team.

Or maybe the place is so infested that the moment a team raids a guy, they get counter-ambushed on the way out.

supposedly, the Feds at some point gave up on Gotham and said "fuck it, it's hopeless, let them keep to themselves, as long as they're not leaving we're good.

I wonder what's up with that. At least for Marie it could be a catholic thing

If you're Catholic it's either Joseph or Mary by baptism around here.
