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.

Alexander. Cannot go wrong with Alexander. Arabic version is Iskander.

There's also Maria.

The biggest countries, India and China, have unique names unlike anyhing in Europe or America.

India still has a massive muslim population so I think whatever the most common name is has to be a common muslim name that has a common christian equivalent
