There were more US presidents named James than any other name

Man, I know we're going through a rough patch, but I think I'd prefer it to say have been rather than were.
You're making me nervous here.
Frankly, I think I'd rather "were" - our system is rotten to the core, and I fear the only way to actually fix it is to start over with lessons learned in mind.
The tough part is that the collapse of the system doesn't mean a better one would pop up after. With the current state of billionaires I'd be very concerned about what might rise from the rubble.
Considering what the J in JD Vance stands for, I'm fine with a moratorium on James for a while.
"Jorkin?"
Carter tried his best with "Jimmy"
I wonder how such a small number of names can be compared to all the names commonly in use in the country since its inception & throughout its run (i.e. only names that were common throughout the entirety of the past 250 years).
