New information from the Office for National Statistics (ONS) has revealed that the top baby name for boys in 2023 has changed.

Muhammad has become the most popular baby name in England and Wales.

The name has been in the top 10 since 2016 before becoming the second most popular boy name in 2022.

Now, the Arabic name, which means "praiseworthy" or "commendable", has overtaken Noah, which was the most popular name in 2021 and 2022.

The data for the most popular names are compiled according to registered live births in England and Wales, and every year the data is analysed to reveal the most popular and unpopular names in the UK.

When I was in college in the late 1970s there were two brothers from Iran studying as well. They were both named Muhammad.

The sun never sets on the British empire? The sun never sets on Islam’s empire. Not so great Britain. The best days are gone.

Britain has been invaded and absorbed many outsiders. Jutes, Saxons,Romans, Danes, Vikings, Normans. All are considered Englishmen now. I fear Britain will not be able to absorb the moslem hordes invading her now as they will not become culturally Englishmen but always remain moslems out to kill infidels.

Muslims are in control of England.


More like the left has shamed European men to cut it off and adopt a non-male name and pronouns so of course Mohammed’s going to end up at the top of the list

From this, it looks like Muhammad is the most popular name because Muslims lack variety in naming their sons.

True.
