UNITED KINGDOM — According to the Office for National Statistics (ONS), the names Muhammad, Mohammed, Mohamad, and Mohamed are now the most popular names in England.
2025's list of popular baby names is strikingly similar to previous years, but what's unique is that traditional English names like James, William, Charles, and Edward are nowhere to be found. The names have reportedly been rendered obsolete by a new generation of little Muhammads, Mohammeds, Mohamads, and Mohameds.
"These cute baby names are what's really in right now, reflecting an admiration for the Holy Prophet, peace be upon him," said statistician Mohamed Ben Mohamad before ramming his car into a crowd of civilians. "The names just have a pleasant sound to them."
This marks a striking change from a previous trend in which everyone in England was named after various kings, apostles, and Manchester United players.
Joining the ranks of Muhammad name variants is "Muhhamad," which is believed to be a typo.
At publishing time, the ONS announced only one popular name for baby girls: Zawjah, which means wife.
“and Manchester United players”
The popularity of Mohamed shows that they are now being named after Liverpool players.
The serfs of the Western nations still haven’t found out who is responsible for this.

I remember when all the cool kids in Mercia were named Cynfawr, Drustan, Eudaf, Rhydderch...

The Bee headline got me!
List isn’t including many of the African names, like Mamadou...
But the headline probably isn’t satire..
The suicide of the West.
Ah, kids blow up so fast these days....
I’m Larry, and this is my brother Mohammed, and this is my other brother Mohammed.
Once again, The Bee strays into reporting reality.
