Muhammad replaces William in the top 10 boys’ names

[*اسلامي عزي*]

In the name of allah our creator , god of Abraham , Moses , Jacob , Jesus and all prophets












Muhammad has replaced William in the top ten most popular boys' names in England and Wales.

The name has risen 35 places in the past decade, and now sits in eighth spot, with 3,908 boys born last year being given it.

But if different spellings of the moniker are accounted for – including Mohammed and Mohammad – the Arabic name is by far the most popular boys' name overall.

Among newborn girls, Olivia toppled Amelia from the top spot.

The list, released by the Office of National Statistics (ONS), demonstrates that popular culture has had a significant affect on choices of baby names.
