Probably cop a bit of grief for this but:

Mohammed is the most common name for baby boys born in London and three other English regions, official Government figures have shown.

The Islamic name overtook traditional choices like Jack, Thomas and Daniel to become the number one name in the West Midlands, Yorkshire and the Humber/North West as well as in the capital, in 2008.

The figures emerged in a detailed regional breakdown of figures published last week by the Office for National Statistics (ONS), Britain's Daily Telelgraph reported.

When various spellings of the Islamic prophet are added together - including Muhammad, Mohammad, Mohamed and Muhammed - the name is now more than twice as popular in London as the capital's second-ranked boys name, Daniel.

There were 1828 baby boys given the name Mohammed, including varients, in 2008, compared with only 844 who were called Daniel.

London is not the first European capital to see Mohammed become the number one name for baby boys. In Brussels, Amsterdam, Copenhagen and Oslo the name has already gained the top slot.

Experts believe that internationally around 15 million people are called Mohammed, making it the most popular male name in the world.

Murtaza Shibli of the Muslim Council of Britain said he was not surprised to find Mohammed had become the most popular boys name in parts of the country.

"People choose it because of their love of the prophet Mohammed, and they believe the name will bring happiness and abundance," he said.

"Also because of its meaning - the praised one. Also there is a belief that if you do name your children Mohammed they will follow the good example of the prophet.

"There are so many spellings because it is an Arabic name and there are different ways of translating it into English."


Say hello to the islamification of the UK. Militant types over there too.

we live in a Global community and the world is getting smaller and smaller. In the future there will be no borders and only one race.... the human race. You can either fight it, or accept it.

Ding dong the witch is dead!

Which old witch? The wicked witch!




As for islam......it is a very narrow minded religion. Followers expect others to bend over backwards to accomodate their needs but do not give the same courtesy back. Though I have met a few very friendly and extremely nice muslims, I am loath to say it is a religion I am not too fond of.

Mind you the Qu'ran has been so misquoted, killing is wrong in any religion and to do so is to show you know nothing of the faith in which you follow.


“…if any one slew a person - unless it be for murder or for spreading mischief in the land - it would be as if he slew the whole people: and if any one saved a life, it would be as if he saved the life of the whole people.” [Al-Qur’an 5:32]

Sounds pretty similar to the catholic church to me.

Be interesting being a school teacher in 5 years...

It's a fairly stupid article. Mohammed may be the most popular name, but that doesn't mean that islam nor arabs are taking over London.

Just because that name is popular, that does not mean that they're the majority. For example, in the United States, Protestants make up the greatest proportion of the Christian population, yet Catholics are the biggest denomination (due to how many protestant churches there are).

Back in school, how many double ups of names can you recall in your classes? In all my time there were only two classes I can recall which had two people with the same name, two Andrews and two Duncans.

Mohammed may the single most popular name, but islamic/arabic names are still a minority.

England is slowly paying the price for letting too many imigrants into their country. They've clamped down now but I think it may be too late.
