    MOHAMMED is the MOST popular baby boy's name in Britain
    what do you think Queen Victoria would say about this

    Mohammed is now the most popular boys' name

    Mohammed is now the most popular name for newborn boys in Britain.

    The name was in third place but last year shot up to first place, overtaking Jack, which had topped the list for the past 14 years, and now comes third behind Oliver.

    A total of 7,549 newborns were given 12 variations of the Islamic prophet Mohammed's name last year, such as Muhammad and Mohammad.

    The second most popular boy's name, Oliver, was given to 7,364 babies. Harry and Alfie came in fourth and fifth place.

    The official list, which covers all births in 2009 in England and Wales, has ­Mohammed at number 16 but this does not include the many different spellings, which are all ranked separately.

    When they are added in, Mohammed zooms all the way up to top spot for the first time.

    In order of popularity, the variant ­spellings used during the year were: Muhammad, Mohammad, Muhammed, Mohamed, Mohamad, Muhamed, Mohammod, Mahamed, Muhamad, Mahammed and Mohmmed.

    Since 1999 the number of babies called Mohammed, however spelled, has increased by more than half. In 1999 the name was given to 4,579 newborns. Going even further back, the single spelling Mohammed appeared at 73 in the list in 1964 and 87th in 1944.

    Some names appeared to have been given a popularity boost by celebrity association. There were 282 boys called Brooklyn, 78 called Romeo and 73 called Cruz – sharing their names with the sons of David and Victoria Beckham.

    Big risers were Lucas, up 19 places since 2008 to 17th in the boys list. Archie climbed 11 places to 20 while Noah jumped 13 places to 32.

    There were 706,248 children born in England and Wales last year.

        No it's mohammad. Just to clear up any misconceptions, we will say it's the most common boys name in the world.

          I'm pretty sure if you open up a Chinese phone book the name Li has 100 volumes of 1000 pages each.

                    I hope they keep pouring in by the millions throughout Europe and then start running for office to impose sharia law and then start rioting when they don't get it.

                    Don't know what else it will take to wake-up the braindead leftists. They will probably champion "tolerance" all the way until their fuking throat is slit by a Muslim.

                    You need to get your fukin head out of your ass if you think the vast majority are "moderates". 40% openly want sharia law..immigrants wanting to impose their primitive, savage beliefs in a foreign country..





                    Could you imagine this shit happening in countries like China or Mexico? 0% chance.

                                Mohammed is now the most popular name for baby boys ahead of Jack and Harry

                                Mohammed has become the most popular name for newborn boys in Britain.
                                It shot up from third the previous year, overtaking Jack, which had topped the list for the past 14 years but was relegated to third spot.

                                  This just wrong in an English speaking country.

                                  In the US, ten or so names have always been enough to include a good 35% of male boys, like...

                                  James
                                  David
                                  Thomas
                                  John
                                  Louis
                                  Michael
                                  Joseph
                                  Frank
                                  Jeff
                                  etc.

                                  that;s what you should name your son ( if white) ! Mohahmud is a terrorist name.
