Maria for a girl, John for a boy, and Sam for anyone.
Jack and Taro for the "fairy tale everyman" vibe.

Basically, the recorded Top 10 of any country in the world would be the "Everyman" (Everywoman) names of that society, since they're so incredibly popular that based on numbers alone they've crossed socioeconomic, racial, and other lines. This would mainly work for the present / younger generations, unless you had access to past lists to see older trending names.For the United States, the Social Security Administration compiled several lists, including the most consistently popular names since they started such data (1880s): https://www.behindthename.com/top/us.phpThat particular list:James
William
John
Joseph
Robert
David
Thomas
Charles
Michael
Daniel
&
Elizabeth
Mary
Anna
Sarah
Margaret
Catherine
Katherine
Laura
Julia
MariaAny of those names could belong to basically anyone in the U.S. And I believe John, David, Michael, Anna, Sarah, and Maria all work well outside Anglophone areas.

James & Rose. And basically any Biblical name and it’s international variation, as Christianity is so widespread and throughout all “classes”.

Honestly every name is an "everyman" name. Everyone can choose whatever they want. Stereotyping is nad.
