The fact that men outnumber women in top organizational positions is well known, but a recent study has found that women are still outnumbered even if you only count men with certain names like "John" or "David," according to the New York Times.

For example, among Fortune 500 CEOs, there are as many men named "James" as  there are women overall, both 5 percent. Men named David, James and Peter made up 11 percent of venture capitalists involved in the largest tech deals over the last five years, versus 9 percent of women of any name. Men named James and Michael made up a higher proportion of directors of the top 100 grossing movies in 2017, at 8 percent, than women overall, at 7 percent.

In the realm of politics, the Republican party boasts more senators named "John" (14 percent) than female senators overall (12 percent) and more governors named Doug, Eric and Phil (18 percent) than female governors overall (12 percent). On the Democratic side, the party has more men named Benjamin, Brian, Charles, Chris, Christopher, Cory, Doug, Edward, Gary, Jack, Jeff, John, Joseph, Richard and Robert (38 percent) than female senators overall (35 percent) and more governors named John (19 percent) than female governors overall (13 percent). 

The only area examined where there were more female leaders than men (52 percent) was editors of top 50 magazines by circulation.
