Muhammad Is Britain's Top Name for Baby Boys
Saturday, 16 Aug 2014 07:36 PM
By Todd Beamon
The most popular name for boys in Britain is Muhammad far outpacing the previous winner, Oliver.
According to records from the Office of National Statistics (ONS), more than 8,000 babies born in 2013 were given a variation of the Muslim prophet's name, making it the year's top choice among parents in England and Wales. The name's No. 1 ranking was first reported by Breitbart.com.
The spelling Muhammad ranked 15th on a list of top names complied by the agency, given to 3,499 boys; Mohammed was 23rd, with 2,887; Mohammad placed 57th, given 1,059 times; and Muhammed ranked 108th, with 561.
In total, 8,006 boys got one of the top four spellings of the name, compared to Oliver, which was given to 6,949 boys, the ONS figures show.
At least 18 other variations of Muhammad appear on the list, each given to a small number of boys.
The choice of Muhammad is widespread among the three million Muslims who live in Britain, Brietbart said. Many of them name at least one son after the prophet making it more popular among Muslims than Christians.
By contrast, Muhammad was No. 61 on the ONS list in 2002, Breitbart reports. The number of Muslims in Britain has doubled since then.

So what you're really saying is 8,000 British terrorist babies were born in 2013. No?

LA,
Mohammed is the most popular male name in the world.
Looks like you're going to have to find another planet if that bothers you.

Interestingly, it is also by far the most common name among terrorists.

Don't know where you got your figures from but the ONS figures that I have read don't show Mohammed in the top 20 names. It registered in East London owing to the high muslem numbers there, but that is hardly indicative of Great Britain as a whole or even Greater London. This report is moronic to say the least......Mohammed is more poular amongst muslims than Christians! Now there is a surprise. William is more popular amongst Christians than muslems why wasn't this reported. Infact names taken from 'Game of Thrones' were more popular than mohammed amongst Christians. Journalistic sensationalism at its worst.

...same reason Fox is ranked first among "news" stations....conservatives only watch Fox, and only conservatives watch Fox... The vast majority of people have so many other choices.....

If you name a baby Mohammed, more than 99% he is Arab. Also his religion/lifestyle will be muslim, which means 99.9% probability he WILL be a terrorist. Britain has about been overtaken with muslims, so if you are born in Britain, your parents should name you MUD. The same will apply for the USA shortly.

Your statement is about as factual as me saying America is overtaken by Cubans or Mexicans.

The liberals don't watch Fox News because it clashes with the cartoon channel.

I can confirm that your source is correct - published today by THE INDEPENDENT - Emily Dugan Social Affairs Editor says
"Combining the three main spellings, MUHAMMAD IS the most popular name for new babies in England & Wales" Per the ONS.
