Is "John" the most popular man's name in the U.S?

Answer by  questionkid (146)

According to the 1990 US census, which contained an index of the 300 most popular boys' names, John was the second most frequent name, only to be surpassed by the name James. The biblical name John, although common, is not as popular as Jacob for newly born males according to the 2010 USA census.

"John" is by far the most popular name in the United States due to the thousands of entries with that name listed in the telephone directory.
