Add your comment  |  September 17, 2008  |  Filed under: Names in the news  |  Written by: Luke

The Belgian Office for Statistics has released information on baby names in Brussels and wider Belgium from last year.

The main highlight of the list is that Arabic names have made a real impression.

Mohamed was the most popular name in the city, with others such as Amin, Ayub, Mehdi, Aya, Yasmine and Salma also turning up in the top 20.   Nationwide, Mohamed came in 7th behind very popular names like Lucas, Nathan and Noah.
