Oliver is soooo last year darrlllling.

//Mohammed is the most popular name for boys in England and Wales- but it doesn't top the official list because there are so many different ways to spell it.
There were 7,361 children born last year called Mohammed, Muhammed, Mohammad or Mohamed, according to the Office for National Statistics, which would have made it the number one boys name if the variations were taken into account.
Instead it is Oliver that tops the boys' list.//

Tight at the top - Oliver - 6,941.

[Buenchico]

Only in London or the West Midlands (and for 2015 anyway because it's a bit too early to add up the figures for 2016!)

Overall, the boys seem to have it better with names like Jaxon and Apollo, while some girls got landed with such delights as Ha and Fizza.

Are you Wacker? Oh dear.

[Arksided]

Sweet mother of Lord, I thought you were joking until I looked at the links.

[Mamyalynne]

A smidge over 1% ?

[Smowball]

Apologies if I was wrong - I read it as Mohammed. Sorry guys.

Some unfortunate kids in that link. Imagine behind called Ha!
Where I work, all the boys who come into the shop seem to be called Jayden. I quite liked the name when Andre Agassi called his son that years ago, but it's everywhere now.

" a lot" ? But not the most popular as posted .

[Jackdaw33]

I see there's quite a lot of Noahs. Hope they all don't come flooding in.

I've never met a Mohammed, but then I live in a very white area. I suppose there must be lots in the cities.
