there were very few Jewish names during that time. Naming them elsewhere is your supposition. It isn't Scriptural

Regarding James and Joseph (or Joses) we have a coincidence of three names, including their mother Mary Cleopas. Again, this is your personal interpretation of the scripture, not the scripture itself.

James and Joseph and Miriam were perhaps the most common names in Israel. Not a personal interpretation, just a statement of fact.

Jesus' had brothers and sisters and the brothers were named James, Joseph, Jude, and Simon. Again, the names (including Yeshua incidentally) were common.
