And Mohammed, with its permutations, is the most popular name on recent birth certificates in Britain.

Mohammed is 2nd at the moment, but will be number one by the end of the year....not a good sign for Britain.

“In total, 5,991 baby boys were given some version of the name Mohammed, with 6,928 baby boys named Jack.

Thomas was third with 5,921 names, with Joshua and Oliver rounding out the top five.

According to The Times, if the growth of the name Mohammed continues - it rose by 12 per cent last year - the name will take the top spot by the end of this year.
