Why are so many characters called Jane?

Tom Holt "Ah, Jane... My wife's oldest friend (they've known each other since school) is called Jane and she's an accountant, so when I was looking for a name for the accountant in Flying Dutch, I called her Jane; and I guess I just liked the name, because I've been using it ever since, like a kind of default setting. In Wish You Were Here, though, I've changed all that and struck out into entirely new and unexplored territory by calling her Janice..."
