I actually hadn't remembered that Aquarium's Sheppard was a John. I was thinking of Jack O'Neil and Sheppard.
Lost: OMGWTF POLAR BEAR
[NAFDA] This is where we talk about the show! Anything that's aired in the US (including promos) is fair game. No spoilers though -- if you post one by accident, an admin will delete it.
Oh, and watching Desperate Housewives makes me think that what Lost is missing is a Scary Little Girl .
sumi,
we already had dolls. do we really need that too?
Well, if we're not going to have Dru. . .

If the show lasts four or five seasons, we could have one...
Heck, considering Jack is already seeing ghosts, we might not have to wait that long. If one of the exec producers is a big Japanese horror fan, we might have our very own Sadako/Samara this season.
Wow, that is cool, le nubian. I'm getting a little bit of a "Hey, the shirts all have numbers!" Buffy S6 vibe from it, though.
A friend and I were discussing the name thing last week (someone posted a similar analysis at TWoP), and we decided it's probably just a coincidence, as most names derive from religion or nature or mean "power" in some way. Both of us (Amy, "beloved" and Tina, "river") would fit right in on the island. So would Gus ("great"), Sean ("God's gracious gift"), Daniel ("God is my judge") and Beverly ("meadow of beavers" -- hee!). That's not to say I'd rule it out, though -- JJ likes for things to have deeper meanings, and the names probably mean something. I do find it interesting that there are so many J and S names. I hadn't noticed that before.

Jesus Saves!
No no no, wait!
The monster is Jon Stewart!

Feeling lost (no italics or capital) and stupid. Please enlighten, Gus.
I wonder if all the Jack/Johns have something to do with the English trickster/traveling hero tradition, where the protagonist is always a Jack. Makes me think of Fables where all Jacks are one Jack.
