Zopa and the Davids
According to their site, the most common name for both borrowers and lenders is David. Is that because it is the most common name amongst the general public.
When I worked as a consultant to Lloyds Bank, they always joked that most bank managers were called John, as they were so boring!
But then the only good one I ever knew was called David. Where is he biw, when the world needs him?
The Anonymous Widower 
Could it be the demographics of Zopa. I know a great many Jewish men called David. And certainly from the Jewish people I know (a lot of them) I imagine this is something they may choose to be involved in. There are unlikely to be any Muslims as borrowing money is haram – forbidden, they have complicated sounding ways to get around that for things like mortgages.
