BioWare Reveals What Most Players Called Their Shepards

And the results seem unlikely to shock you in the slightest.

BioWare has revealed what most Mass Effect 3 players called their Commander Shepards in a new blog post on the developer’s site.
The most common choices by a large margin were the default names, John and Jane, but BioWare has published the top five names in each gender and the results are… pretty generic.
The top male name chosen (other than John) was Jack. It’s not surprising, really, considering the name Jack (as in the “Giant Slayer” or “Bauer”) is an archetypal hero name utilised in everything from nursery rhymes and fairy tales to episodes of 24 and disappointing Die Hard sequels.
The most common female name after Jane was Sarah, one of the world’s most-popular given names for women across a range of countries, English-speaking or otherwise.
