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.
There are also a few names that independently exist in different languages; i.e. one is not a translation of the other, such as “Yuri” in Russian and Japanese, or “Naomi” in Hebrew and Japanese. Similarly, the surname “Lee” in English is not related to “Lee” in East Asian languages like Chinese or Korean.
(A sillier puzzle: Find names for which you get a different name by spelling it backwards, like “Ari” and “Ira” or “Linus” and “Sunil”. No, Utah Mormon names like “Nevaeh” don’t count, they do that sort of thing on purpose.)
Oh thats a cool game.

We’ve been duped!
Thought Id just slip it in there
I know a couple of Yoshi’s (Japanese) and the first time I met a German Joshi (pronounced “Yoshi”), I thought he had a Japanese name for some reason until I realised it’s short for Joshua. Also, I thought Naomi was an exclusively Japanese name, today I learned, thanks!
My mum’s name is Ira and she thought it would be cute to name me Ari. Most people I meet agree.
Definetely cute. But the real question is, are you the exact opposite of your mom too. The yin to the yang.
Don’t overthink it. “cute” is reason enough.
