Joseph (shortened to Joe)? And its equivalent in other languages:
José (Spanish, Portuguese; sometimes "shortened" to Pepe, nickname)
Guiseppe (Italy), sometimes Beppe
José (Joe) happens to be my name! =)
Joe is very popular here in the US, and in fact José is the most common name in México.
Other variations of Joseph:
Iosif--Russian
Iosephus/Josephus--Latin
Josef--Czech, German, Norwegian, Swedish
Jozef--Polish
Giô-sép--Vietnamese
Seosam--Irish
Jooseppi--Finnish
...etc., etc. Here's a fuller list from Wikipedia:

For girls, I'd imagine Mary/María would be very popular too. It's the most popular in México, I know that.
