That would depend on the nation and the time.
In the USA, various names have been common in the past that are not now. (For example, my own.)
Biblical names have for the most part passed into common usage, as my Wiccan mother named me James.
There is a Website, linked below, that shows the names that were common in various years in the USA, based on the Census. It has all sorts of nifty graphics, and you can punch in different names to see when they were popular. (Abraham used to be big in the USA, not so much now.)
It shows trends, sorts by letter, year, name, all sorts of stuff.

Jacob is #1 for all male names for quite a few years. I am not sure if it still the most popular boy name.
Not sure about girls though.

Jacob has had the #1 spot in the US for several years.
For girls, probably Elizabeth.

John is pretty universal.
