Very interesting Joe. I notice most of the popular names in US are very traditional and plain. I like them very much.

Here, the most popular boy's name is Mohammed, but I reckon those who compile the statistics have 'cooked the books' somewhat. As Mohammed can be spelt in many different ways, they've considered each version as a separate name, thus reducing its score on the popularity charts.

Rather nice if the Cambridges called their boy Mohammed! 'Prince Mohammed'. The Queen would have forty fits.

My husband (NOT called Mohammed!) has 15 living siblings and four of them are called Mohammed (but different forms of the name) His uncle has 8 children and three of the men are called Mohammed too. They all eat together in the huge family courtyard. Imagine dinner time!
"Mohammed!" (stampede)
