If it happens in the British Colonies of North America, you'll find primarily Biblical names: Samuel, Christian, John, Nathaniel, Daniel, Thomas, Caleb and Jacob for men, and Rachel, Hannah, Mary for the women. Popular Dutch names are Abraham, Johannes, Gerrit, Hendrick, Huybert, with Maritje, Grietje, Annetje, and Margrietje for the women.
These are based on my 18th Century trees. For sheer frequency, you can't go wrong with Hannah or Rachel.
I have only ONE "Jane" for that entire time period...
