Muhammad is 2nd most common name in UK
 Muhammad is 2nd most common name in UK Friday, 21 December 2007 London, December 21: In multicultural Britain, Muhammad is the second most common name for boys after Jack, while Grace is the most popular name for girls. Office for National Statistics (ONS) showed the most popular spelling — Mohammed, after the founder of Islam Prophet Muhammad — had climbed five places to 17th in the annual list of top baby names. Growing Numbers: The last national census in 2001 had put the UK Muslim population at 16 lakh. However, when the seven other spellings of the name are taken into account, the total comes to 6,347 babies, making it the second most popular name of the year — up from 5,936 last year. Although Jack topped the list with 6,772 babies, that figure fell 156 on last year, meaning if this trends continues next year, Mohammed and its variant spellings would become the most popular name in England and Wales. The official figures from the ONS tallies with a similar survey on baby names published by Bounty, the parenting club, earlier this week. --Agencies The Siasat Daily, 2004.

Re: Muhammad is 2nd most common name in UK
Pretty coool
I think though its becuase a lot of Desi dads in the UK call all their boys Muhammad. The kids usually go by their middle name though.

Its good to see arab names so high on an english list but don't forget its not the language of the name that gives it it's beauty, its the meaning. I mean the arab word for dog crap wouldn't be a very good name would it?
