NAMES, EH? I guess, some like: Koji (me), Takuya... well, most people refer to each other by last names anyway, there are lots of common names. In fact, one could speculate that every name is a common name. Except the ones in animes. I usually don't hear anime names anywhere else, except for in other animes. Exceptions are like; Sakura, and names you hear all the time, like that. Although, there isn't, like, some mass of Sakura's in Japan, like there is in anime, for some reason. Of course, we don't use names from feudal Japan anymore either, so you won't see many Yoshitsune's or Beinke's.

My dad says that the big hype for the parents in Japan, the younger generation families, is using the old Kanji and incorporating them as the child's name, or having several of them put together for a new meaning. Using the kanji for '5' and 'Month', the boy's name would be "Itsuki" or May, for example in showing the wierd kanji. Old Kanji that is so unfamiliar, and never used anymore in conversations or in the media. There are a lot of parents who choose to give their daughters English names, spelled in katakana, such as Erika, Emi, Risa (off of Lisa).

Most Japanese Last names can be summerized with "田中村" (Tana,Ka,Mura).Even almost any combanation of the three kanji is a common first name for Japanese people. Even If they don't use ONLY those three Kanji, Many Japanese people still use those Kanji.
As for first names... I have no clue
