One thing that surprised me is Arthur being 4th for boys. Maybe it’s just me, but that’s the sort of name I’d associate with older men, so to see it make a resurgence is interesting.

“Names given to baby boys fewer than five times in 2024 include Awesome, Cuthbert, Crispin and Beckham.”
I mean you what
*Cuthbert?!*
That’s got to be kids conceived in the past year in the bogs at the Cuthbert Broderick Spoons in Leeds centre

Reminds me of a story, my fil was a London cabbie and like so many wasn’t a fan of Muslims. Then he had a heart attack and had to stop working. He was very upset that his old cabbie friends stopped coming to visit pretty quickly. Except for one, good old “mo” who visited every week and brought nice gifts….

Boys names I always hear; Oscar, Teddy, Freddie, Luca, Isaac
Girls names; Maisie, Ellie, Rosie, Lily, Eva

Muhammad, Mohammed and Mohammad absolutely smashing it.

Why the fuck would it be between that or Muhammed? Why don’t they just pick a common name like a normal person?

Where are all the Muslim girl’s names. How can the boy’s name be top with no sign of girls’ names?

>Muhammad tops the list of boys’ names for the second year running
If you account for the various spellings of the name Muhammad (Mohammed, Muhammed, Muhamed, etc) its been the number 1 name since 2015 or so. Pretty funny at this point.

I’m going to change my name to Mohammed by deed-poll when I hit 65. Get those healthcare appointments in quicker, not to mention my funeral.

Can confirm. One of our neighbours had three children in 2024. Twins in January, and another one in December. The called all of them Muhammad, even the girl.
But you tell people that, they won’t believe you.

If people want unique names they should bring back Kevin, Gary, Tracy, Sharon etc

Has this list changed much at all in the past 20 years? Because I swear it really hasn’t.
Are we just stuck in a naming rut?

I saw the chart and can’t bear to look anymore. Britain’s century of humiliation is still going strong.
