Similarly, in the Western world, the most popular name seems to be some form of John.

Yes, though proportionally I think there are far more Mohammed's. Wikipedia says:

> It is thought to be the most popular name in the world, being given to an estimated 150 million men and boys.

One of my teammates recently gave birth to a boy, she talked a little about figuring out whether to name the kid Mohammed or not, with the major downside being that yeah, it's insanely common, especially among her nationality.

What's even the upside?

When people name their kids things like John or Mohammed, I just think of this comic: https://webcomicname.com/post/617835911135330304

From this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5O2Yjn3OXRk

Actually it seems to have started as Yohanan, Yo coming from Yahweh (god in Hebrew), and hanan (gracious).
