I don’t know, but there are some common names that are actually obscure forms of classic theonyms, and the people using them may not even be aware of the connection—for instance, “Dennis” is a form of “Dionysus”. Would you count that or not?

As many others are pointing out, cultural hegemony plays a major role—but I think there’s another factor at play as well:
Greek, Roman, and Norse mythology have been dead and fossilized for a thousand years and more, and in the meantime a long tradition grew up of mining them for allegory, with their prior religious significance stripped away. Most other world mythologies, on the other hand, still form part of active belief systems, or recently died out under colonial occupation and so carry postcolonial political overtones. So borrowing from them could be more problematical, whereas classical mythology has basically been left up for grabs by its former adherents.
The classical Romanization was more accurate in its time—the issue is that the common pronunciation of classical Latin changed after the classical era (for instance, the “c” became soft in many contexts, instead of always being pronounced as “k” as it was in classical Latin).
If you use the original classical pronunciation for Latin, you’ll also pronounce the classical romanized Greek names correctly—and if you spell them the classical way you’ll recognize them more easily in Latin sources. The modernized romanization is most useful if you’re only interested in Greece and not in the classical world as an integrated whole.

I know—I’m just saying that any other theoretical solution would always be worse than cloning, because you’d lose genetic information.
Edit: See Isodisomy for details.
The obvious solution would be to just clone the parent.
Any hypothetical attempt to simulate recombination would produce a genetic clone at best—but more likely (even if you overcame the practical issues), you’d end up replacing some of the unique material on one half of each chromosome with a copy of the genes on the other half (with a corresponding increase in the risk of genetic defects).
The sort of case I was thinking of is if different parties present different versions of an image or video and you want to establish which version is altered and which is original.
Maybe each camera could have a unique private key that it could use to watermark keyframes with a hash of the frames themselves.
I haven’t yet expressed an opinion on capitalism, except to say that the features you’ve mentioned have little to do with it.
But to answer your original question: capitalism stricto sensu is when the profits and decision-making power in a firm are vested in those who put up the original financial capital. It incentivizes financial risk-taking, which (depending on economic conditions) can be useful or destructive. But the only merits it rewards are the possession of pre-existing wealth, the willingness to take risks with it, and luck. Nepotism and cronyism serve its ends by providing a source of wealth for new capitalists, and an outlet for successful capitalists to convert their gains into social rewards.
The better product; the greater amount of production; the higher efficiency
Every economic system claims to be able to deliver those goals.
But what you’re describing is more a general free-market economy than capitalism proper. The former determines how companies interact with consumers and each other; the later determines how power and profits are distributed within a company.

I feel like I started to picture something more specific, but as soon as it asked what happens next I deliberately cleared the details from my mind and re-imagined it as generically as possible so my prediction wouldn’t be biased by anything not explicitly stated.
Another advantage of Nextcloud over Syncthing is selective syncing: Syncthing replicates the entire collection of synced files on each peer, but Nextcloud lets clients sync and unsync subfolders as needed while keeping all the files on the server. That could be useful for OP if they have a terabyte of files to sync but don’t have that much drive space to spare on every client.

You can install and run Stable Diffusion locally (Pinokio is a versatile installer that can run SD and many other open-source AI tools as well). With SD you can build your own upscalers that are better than Upscayl, and do things like background removal too (in addition to prompt-based generation and such).
Not a single color, but in Chinese tradition there were five colors of equal political significance corresponding to the Wuxing cycle of changes—black, red, cyan, white, and yellow. Each dynasty was associated with a color (with other associated traits), and was expected to be followed by one of two other colors (depending on whether the succession would be orderly or revolutionary).
Are you talking about someone who’s deliberately claiming to have experienced something they only read about, or someone who’s genuinely uncertain of their own memories?
