‘Mohammad’ tops British boys' names list
By: Nabil Raza
LONDON, Britain: By the end of the year ‘Mohammad’ will
likely become the most popular name for baby boys in Britain, the
Times daily reported in its Wednesday editions citing government data.
Though official records from the office for national statistics list
the spelling Mohammad 23rd in its yearly analysis of the top 3,000
names given to children, when all the different spellings of the name
are taken into account, it ranks second, only behind Jack, according
to the Times.
There are various different spellings of the name because when it is
transliterated into English from Arabic, families spell it as closely
to their own pronunciations as possible.
In total, 5,991 baby boys were given some version of the name
Mohammad, with 6,928 baby boys named Jack.
According to the Times, if the growth of the name Mohammad continues
-- it rose by 12 percent last year -- the name will take the top spot
by the end of this year.
