There are a lot of common names in OFAC when you get to the alias list. (because, apparently, a common name works well as an alias) Jesus. Lopez. Mohammed. Mark Taylor. Sally Jones. Park. Wong. Kim. Chuck Taylor used to be on there, but isn't anymore. (not the shoes) Since there are a lot of alias matches, you get a lot of people who wind up matching when there's no reasonable way that there's an actual match. (i.e., they're happily living in the US and have an ordinary bank account there, not the dead dictator of Liberia, or someone in Columbia, or North Korea.)
