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.

The irony of highlighting tolerance as a British value in this case is not lost.

Thats funny because in the last 25-50 years we have become more tolerant and equal.
Gay marriage
Trans rights
changes to the Human Rights Act.
etc etc...

What are you worried about exactly?

All the variant spellings are separate in this data by the way, if you collected all the variant spellings together, it would be waaaaaaaaay ahead of anything else on the list.

Yes I believe this is the case, someone correct me but I believe every male Muslim kid is *always* called Mohammed, as one of their names, even if it's not the one they use daily.

Obviously skews things, and gives terminally online saddos something to get upset about

Im not sure thats true. If you added Henry and Harry together Id bet thats miles ahead at the top probably followed by Oliver and Ollie or Jack and John.
 
question, is there a much bigger pool of typical muslim female names, if not how come, assuming the male/female rate is largely the same, that there isn't a muslim female name in the top three ?

Every single person?
Does that not mitigate the purpose of a designation?

Genuine question. How would you ask for someone by name if everyone had the same name? I'm assuming there's a sub name or something?
