We don't know the names of the spies Joshua sent into Jericho. There have been countless men and women of God--teachers, prophets, rulers, soldiers, and farmers--whose names are forgotten by men. But God knows every single one of them. He will never forget.
The two spies in Joshua 2 were hand-picked by Joshua and sent in secret. The 12 spies sent by Moses were sent at the urging of the people. Autocrat vs democratic. But in both cases, only two spies were righteous. The will of the masses is usually wrong.

Pure "Democracy" is known casually by political scientists as "Mob-Rule," and is actually a dangerous and ineffective form of government. It allows for a single person or small group of people to temporarily or deceitfully sway the masses of the uninformed majority in their votes. Few countries use it, and none for very long. The USA never has, as we are not a democracy but a republic, governed by representatives with an election process by an Electoral Congress.
Neither Moshe or Yehoshua ben Nun were "autocrats" but theocrats, with their leadership tempered by the kohanim (priesthood) and judges of Yisrael in a quasi-representative government under the final and absolute authority of YHWH, Maker of heavens and earth.
