Guess what is the most popular boy’s name in Britain?
Most popular British boy’s name is Jack. But the real story is what’s #2: Muhammad.
From the BBC:
The official register of names puts Mohammed at number 23, but an analysis of the top 3,000 names puts Muhammad in second place once the different spellings are taken into account.
Thomas, Joshua and Oliver rounded out the list.
What about other religions? It appears that none of the following made the top 10: Jesus, Abraham, Luthur, Buddah, or Xenu.
