Al Bundy Posted December 12, 2023 Share Posted December 12, 2023 (edited) I think the reason for Muhammad being the number one is that many Muslim blokes are called Muhammad, as opposed to non Muslim blokes being called a wide variety of names. Still, a rather starting result. Edited December 12, 2023 by Al Bundy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still, a rather starting result. It is quite a startling result, I agree. It is often used as the first of a number of names, so I guess that it was always going to be very common, but not necessarily used in the same way that Christian names are used. Thats a lot of Noahs too. Maybe the wet weather played a part Edited December 12, 2023 by Prettytom 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All Muslim boys have to have Mohammed in their names, wonder if teachers are confused. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All those immigrants on small boats having babies free on the NHS so they can then get council housing quicker... : 😂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
