This does not surprise me

This has been the case for a few years running now right?

I guess one point to balance this is, the pool of names that muslims use is much smaller than western names. So there will be a lot of Mohammeds (and spelling variants) because they choose that name a lot. Whereas the names non-muslims pick are much more varied and spread out. But yes there is a growing number of followers of Islam in this country and they are having a lot more children compared to the birth rate of the UK.

ooooo get the popcorn out guys, this is going to be good!

Not surprised it passed Noah, that name was just popular for a year due to reasons, same as Oliver right?

I did like this part of the report:
"Meanwhile royal names were less popular in 2023 - a decline that forms part of an ongoing trend."

Shame they didnt confirm which names, as I imagine Andrew has dropped down that list significantly over the past few years.
 
In 25-50 years British values such as tolerance, equality to all (which many Muslims don't believe in, argue all you want but it's a fact) will be limited to the minority of the population along with English/Welsh/Scottish/N.I'ish being popular names.
