Incredible arc to this story.
Muhammad has become the most popular baby name in England and Wales.

the sooner salah leaves Liverpool the better imo
4600 Muhammads. Not that many when you look at it that way.
Its time to ask if Salah's has more influence in England than Cristiano Ronaldo.
Most of them you won't even realise are called Muhammad either.
Christie and Christian and chris combined would win in western countries i think
I swear this kind of articles pops up every 2 or 3 years.
Beautiful.
No from I have seen it would Noah. The ones you mentioned aren't actually that popular.
Surely some of them are called Mohammed?
the Daily Mail considers stuff like this evergreen content I think
nothing much in the news to day to whinge about and act a bit racist? They pull out one of the greatest hits
It's roughly 4600 too many for anyone who an issue at all.
Yep. Insert name of European country/region/town/maternity ward as appropriate.
Would you rather fight 4600 small Muhammads or one large Jaxon?
We talking small but adult or new born small?
Small but adult.
There's no way I'm answering that.
Can I use a muslim ray gun?
I was wondering if it was gonna be that type of thread....
What type? One that you pop into, make a vague post, hinting at something but saying nothing really?
Blasphemy!
A bit like Maria in Portugal because of the virgin mary (nowadays nobody links it to it but it's the origin of the popularity), every year the same name tops this ranking by a huge margin. You'd expect finding Marias everywhere but most use another name. I have 3 cousins, Maria Amélia, Ana Maria and Maria Sofia but no one calls them Maria.
I noted with interest on the two or three other message boards I use, which posters chose to post this. Let’s just say, the glove fits.
Yeah. The dude I'm referring to is just boring. I know deep down he has actual unpleasant ideas but it's just such a tired repetition at this point it's just habit and muscle memory.
When I first lived in Spain, I was talking to my neighbour Joseph who introduced me to his wife, Josepha. My other neighbour was called Pepe. It took me a few months to discover that Pepe is the standard abbreviation for Joseph. Pepe's wife was called Maria, which was different I guess, but part of the same story.
Definite shortage of names in the neighborhood.
There is also Pep(Josep) in Catalonia. An other one that can surprise people is Paco which is supposed to be Francisco.
Haha, exactly like my post on the previous page!
Yeah, Muhammad is a good traditional name and most people are going with quirky alternative spellings nowadays. It's probably number one because everyone else is naming their kids stupid looking things like Dayve, Sayrah and horsechoker
A good Christian English name.
Finally I took over @Mr Pigeon!
What the hell is going on?
Edit: I'm not clever enough to change your name to JP's
And what about the variations of Muhammed? Mohamed, Muhammad, Mohammad, etc?
This will go exactly as expected.
Forgive me if I'm being pedantic but let me get this straight. So Noah, the name of a presumably middle eastern male of historical religious significance has been overtaken by Mohammad, the name of a middle eastern male of historical religious significance?
I for one welcome our new Muhammad overlords.
Next you will tell them that Christianism isn't originally European.
Yeah, I mentioned Paco (and also Jose) as omnipresent here in Andalusia. I could swear every second guy in my town is called either or. Jesus doesn't hold a candle to them.
To be fair: my wife is from Croatia and in her town "everyone" is called Ivan or Marija.
