It's floated around the number 1 spot for years and been in the top 10 almost every year for a long time. Often cited by alarmist on the right that we are being taken over and reality is that the figures are skewed by a variety of factors:
- As Mohammed, Muhammad, Mohamad and pretty much every way of writing this name in Latin script are exactly the same name in Arabic, many baby name tracking sites amalgamate all the spelling variations into one, something they don't do for anglo-saxon or celtic names where spelling divergence actually signify a difference in name by convention (e.g. Steven and Stephen, John and Jon etc).
- The naming conventions with Muslim families mean that a significant number of men in Muslim families have the name on their birth certificate and official documents even when they don't go by it. In some Muslim cultures, every first born boy will be called Mohammed.
- There is a far greater diversity of given names amongst non-muslim communities than traditionally. Traditionally, white-British families would have stuck strictly to the limited selection of Christian biblical names and chosen the Anglo-saxon or celtic spelling depending on their family background. These days you've got all sorts of names made up and 100 different ways of spelling them on birth certificates (I want to call my daughter Catherine/Kathryn but want to mix it up so I'll call her Katherin.

Yeh some will paint it as a "Muslims are taking over" jibe
Some Indians with it, worked with a Nigerian he had the same
At the end of the day its one of those facts that could be ignored but won't be, I see it as a live and let live, someone can call their kid what they want, does not impact my life.
These right wing nut jobs are as bad as anything they moan about, that MMA fighter who was banged up for putting stuff online about Muslims being nonces.............turned out to be a convicted nonce. Just makes me laugh TBH
I'd go as far as to say that all religion is incompatible with modern society, but some religions are obviously less compatible with civilisation than others.It's just that when you get the figures of who is banged up for being a nonce. Grooming young girls etc. it's vastly disproportionately of Pakistani men compared to their population in this country. It's just counting. Muslims in jail for being pedophiles is huge compared to their population. Just because one wrong 'un said it doesn't make it untrue.
Denmark is the only country in Europe that has published figures of immigrants committing crimes showing they are committing more sex crimes per capita... actually scrap that. Italy recently published that 52% of sex crimes in Italy were by 11% of the population. Immigrants. Muslims are not compatible with western society. It's a different way of life.
You can be ostracised for saying this. But it's just facts at this point.

In previous years, combining all the different spellings of Muhammad would have made it the top name, but this is the first year that just one spelling of the name has topped the list.
So that's ok then. Mohammed is the name we can assume will be the common name in our country in a decade. It's brilliant! Diversity is our strength.
I was expecting the complaints to come flooding in when that happened.It’s just a name.
Don’t remember any outcry when it was Noah, another name associated with fairy stories.

From the Telegraph:
True. But having just looked at the ONS data set, the various spellings of Mohammed and other Arabic boys names are swamped into insignificance by the volume of non-muslim names. Names like "Bobby" are on there which wouldn't have even been regarded as a real name 20 years ago which illustrates the point I'm making regarding strict adherence to traditional naming conventions within a particular community skewing figures. My point about many muslim men having mohammad (or variations of it) on official birth certificates even when they don't go on to use it is also illustrated by the fact that Mohammed was the no 1 official baby name in 2021 but the 2021 census data contradicted that and found that Noah was the most common new born baby name presented on census documents....From the Telegraph:

Did they come in two'sNoah was second
They have already proved they are there to protect the system.Point 3 is why I am giving the government time.
But it is something they should have been working on in opposition and they will get 2 years from me. By then I want to see a plan layed out.
Gang bang?Did they come in two's
I don't think it's the purchase price that's the problem.They have already proved they are there to protect the system.
They dropped the renationalisation of the energy market before the election.
If it was too expemsive, make it completely unprofitable, causing a collapse in share price, then buy it on the cheap.
They have no vision at all..
Done northing for the people at the bottom of the pile.

At current rates 20% of population will be Muslim by 2050.Yeh some will paint it as a "Muslims are taking over" jibe
