Lee, technically you are right but Mohammed can be spelt in 14 different ways. if you take all variations then it comes out on top.

I heard that SN are implementing new software that means NSR can only be viewed if your PC is facing Mecca.

But being SN they've got it wrong and all you have to do is point your PC towards the local bingo hall - doesn't have to be a Mecca one

So what was the Express headline? "Heir to the throne would be named Mohammed if Diana was alive, bless her cotton socks"

it was something along the lines of

"over 7500 potential suicide bombers born in England and Wales last year".

Interviewing Aiyesha Tariq after the birth of her 5th son, all called Mohammed, she reminised, "I remember the birth of my first son, Mohammed, he was such a lovely child, so quiet, so good". Then with a sigh she commented "They blow up so quickly".

7500? Doesn't seem enough to be a top name. 790,000 babies born in 2008 so 7500 is just 1% ...

TX.

PS

from the Guardian:

"The 14-year reign of Jack as the most popular boy's name in England and Wales officially came to an end today, with Oliver at last claiming first place following an impressively rapid rise since 2004.

As in previous years, the name Mohammed, which ranked 16th, would take top place among boys if all possible spellings were aggregated. But as a spokesman for the Official for National Statistics pointed out, this is potentially misleading if no other names are similarly combined: there were still more Olivers than Mohammeds if you count the 511 Ollies, 127 Oliviers, 124 Ollys, 16 Ollis and 9 Olis born in 2009. The merging of Harry with Henry and Jack with John would produce similar disruptions to the list."
