Mohammed, in all its various spellings, is now the second most common boys' name in the UK, next only to Jack.

==snip==

Mohammed was placed 16th with 3,423, Muhammad 37th with 2,068 and Mohammad 65th with 1,100.

Figures for five other spellings - Muhammad (496), Mohamed (428), Mohamad (40), and Mohammod (10), were later released.

That made a total of 7,576 and put Mohammed and its alternatives ahead of the official second placed name, Oliver, of whom there were 7,413.

Englandstan ahoy....

[j-damn]

Doomed, doomed, doomed, doomed, doomed, doomed, doomed.

[j-damn]

And furthermore, doomed.

And just think, we’re going down the same path! Hurray! I can’t wait to spend my days on the dole, watching crap telly and listening the Muzzies next door procreating like rats! Lilililililili!

[Senator Goldwater]

Whatever their names, they probably wait forever to get post-natal care.

[Cronos]

like cockroaches you mean. they procreate like roaches, spread and create filth wherever they live and destroy once civilised places...

[Nosterrex]

It doesn’t surprise me. According to a recent survey, the vast majority of Brits said that they wouldn’t fight for their country under any circumstance. That tells you all that you need to know.

[annelizly]

thats just because they all name their kids the same name!

Is the first Barrak?

Let's see - there are about 60,000,000 people in Great Britain and with a birthrate of about 10 births per 1000, we have about 600,000 births per year. If half were girls, that leaves 300,000 boy born per year. So with around 8,000 Mohameds born, they represent less than 3% of boy births - not exactly a crisis.

[j-damn]

Yeah, but you’re not even considering the Abdullahs, Abdallahs, Achmeds, Yasirs, Osamas, Saddams, etc.

[stormer]

Add ‘em up. Probably about half Muslim boys are named some variant of Mohamed. There really are more important things to worry about.

If it’s on the internet, it has to be true.

England is commiting suicide in the name of political correctness. By 2030 they will be an Islamic Republic. Mark my words.

[j-damn]

I actually didn’t see any others in the top 100—still, they’re doomed.

2nd most common... right behind michelle

the UK lost the last of its sack when M.Thatcher left office

[Liberty Valance]

Cool. Makes it easier.

[Winniesboy]

Probably about half Muslim boys are named some variant of Mohamed.

Quite. The practice is to name the firstborn son in this way. Whereas how many thousand names are available to non-Muslim parents? Thanks for nailing so effectively the statistical absurdity of the wild conclusions being drawn from this factette.

[Cronos]

couple that with the numbers of Moos as a percentage of students younger than 10 where they are nearly 40% or more in areas in the UK and those ARE grave numbers.
