MOHAMMED ONCE AGAIN RANKS NO. 1 IN BRITAIN'S NAMING STATS

For at least the second time in recent memory, Muhammed has come in first on the list of personal names given to boys born in the UK:

The most common name given to baby boys born in England in 2009 was none other than Mohammed, in its various forms.

The name Mohammed is spelled 12 different ways. The most popular spellings were Mohammed and Mohammad, which were the given names of 3,300 and 2,162 babies, respectively. Other spellings include Muhammed, Mohamed, Mahamed, and even Mohmmed. In total, the name was given to 7,549 British baby boys in 2009 - 185 more than were named Oliver.

Regardless of the spelling - if the primary origin of the name is the same, that tells all we need to know, that something is wrong over there.
