Because thats what Bungie wanted his name to be.

With B.B. gone, the passion of Bungie.net has lessened.

Because its not unique. I think that was what Bungie had in mind when choosing all the names of the Spartans. Take a look at some:

John, Kelly, Linda, Fred, Josh, Vinh, Li, Anton, William, Fajhad, Grace, Rene...

They're all very short, "common," not very interesting, and easily forgetable. Bungie probably did this to show another part of the Spartan candidate selection process. The less interesting and memorable the names, the less people, including the Spartans themselves, might inquire about their past before they were "inaugurated" into the Spartan Program.

Just what I, as well as some others, think.

Why the heck did the author of the halo novel name the guy John? Isn't that a lame name? What about Sebastien? Or Reinhart? Why not something with a bit more sizzle? It kinda ruined th MC's reputation. ( For me at least)
