Joe Bloggs is the commonly used name in UK, as is A.N.Other when explaining how to fill in an official form, or when a name needs to be used in a newspaper but one which is unlikely to be an actual person.
In USA they have a similar name, John Dow.

Bloody good question!!
John Smith, John Citizen, and Joe Blow have all been given a good run in the past. The last may be an Aussie one, I'm not sure.

The call could could mirror an identical format as your surname so as that he can truthfully comprehend the place and why his call got here approximately - subsequently decide for Jones-Bloggs style. i could have an identical concern if I have been given remarried yet could definately do comparable to I purely defined.

They don't.
Ed Exley uses Rolo Tomasi LA Confidential (1997), for example.
