I feel like I've seen them on Less Wrong in the Sequences. Maybe it was just once in the past day and I'm paying more attention to it than is warranted.

They are on less wrong in the sequences. They're on a lot of websites, wherever anyone needs to use some generic names for people. Using the same names every time makes it easy to remember who's "person 1" in a scenario and who's "person 2", and makes it clear that the people are hypothetical.

Makes sense. Thanks.
