Mohammed set to dominate UK boy’s names

The Telegraph today features an article on Mohammed’s assault on the top boy’s names in the UK. The name, when all variants are added together, is just a few hundred from top spot.

Mohammed is on course to become the most popular boys’ name in England and Wales by next year.

The high birth rate among Muslim families mean the name is set to overtake the current favourite name for baby boys, Jack.

An analysis of names compiled by the Office for National Statistics shows that when the different spelling variations of the name are added together, it is just a few hundred off the top place.
