Maybe in India it is. Note that Harold & Kumar's last names are Lee and Patel respectively. The most common name in the world is apparently Li (or Lee) and Patel is very common in India. See the connection yet?

Depends of the country that you live, for expample if you are latino, your name can be Louis or Carlos, if you are american, it can be John or Michael, and if you are chinese i dont know...
This thread is about the most common name known to man, not the most common name in each country. It's true that in English-speaking countries, John and Michael are very common. We're talking about the entire world, however, and the most common first name in the world is Muhammad, and that is an inarguable fact.
Well, according to the Bible, Adam was, at one point, the most common first name in the world at one point. So, you're technically correct, you're just in the wrong time period.
