Is there any particular name in your language to be used as a sample name?
For example, in Japanese, you often see the name “山田 太郎” on an application form for such as internet service.
You are supposed to write your own name in the space after deleting that “山田 太郎”

In English we use "John Smith" or "Jane Smith" because it was the most common name in England.
Wikipedia has articles regarding this, with examples from around the world:
