Whats in a name?

Recently Bioware have revealed the most commonly used names for Commander Shepard in Mass Effect.
Of course the default names (John and Jane) were the most popular but beyond that:

(Female):

1. Sarah
2. Kate
3. Alice
4. Jessica
5. Alex

(Male):

1. Jack
2. James
3. Chris
4. Alex
5. Michael

An impressive selection but none of the names were used to christen my Shepards. I went with the names Alana, John, Jeffrey and Elizabeth (can you guess the connection behind those names?!).

Mind you, I do wonder how popular the name Alan was for male Shepard....
