Mohammed to beat Jack as top UK boys’ name


future_uk3.jpgMohammed is set to overtake Jack as the most popular boys’ name in Britain as a result of the high birth rate in Muslim families, which is driving the British population to a record high.A report from the Office of National Statistics says the highest birth rates are in the Pakistani and Bangladeshi communities, both predominantly Muslim.Jack was the most popular boys’ name last year, chosen for 6,928 babies. Mohammed - taking into account all of its variant spellings - overtook Thomas to lie in second place with 5,991 babies named.Muhammad Anwar, a professor of ethnic relations at Warwick University, said: “Muslim parents like to have something that shows a link with their religion.“The Muslim population is generally young and you expect a higher birth rate.”

Economic migrants from eastern Europe have also helped to boost the population, which is set to rise to 65 million by 2017 - an increase of five million. By 2031, the population will be over 70 million.

  1. I think the muslims, the traitorous mainstream parties and their sympathisers will discover what true Britons are like when united by a common cause. This once great country is being seriously threatened - from without but especially within - by a ‘religion’ where Friday prayers to God are followed by calling for someone’s death for calling a teddy after the Prophet. Equally evil regimes have taken us on and discovered to their cost, what we are capable of - and we don’t have to resort to barbarity such as cutting heads off with kitchen knives to achieve it! From a very new BNP and proud member.

  2. If these ‘Muslim Parents’ really want a link to their ‘religion’, they should go back to live in those arid lands, and take their offspring with them! They will surely be happier where the cutting off of the hands of petty thieves, the stoning to death for adulterers, the hanging of gay people etc is more in tune with their mentality and beliefs. This is Britian and we don’t behave in such a barbaric and backward way - nor will we allow this sickness to overcome us! God speed The BNP!

  3. Anybody who expresses phoney ‘outrage’ at the indigenous English dislike of so many Muslims living in our country is not ‘one of us’. As far as I’m concerned, people like this are alien to me and cannot possibly represent me. Labour has created a serious monster with it’s handling of immigration. They know we, the people, don’t want it. That explains Labour’s love affair with race legislation. New Labour are the most treasonous govnernment ever and should be dealt with like traitors when the time comes. That’s strong stuff but, in an age where expressing yourself about this issue is taboo, feelings are smouldering away under the surface - nation wide.

  4. I’m utterly appaled by this news. A truly disgusting turn of events.

  5. I am truly saddened by this news, but what I find even more depressing is the fact that I’m not surprised by it; judging by the rapid growth of non-indigenous people in Britain over the last decade alone.

    We all must work even harder, to help the BNP to help save this wonderful country before it is too late.

  7. i joined the BNP yesterday there are not enough words to describe the feeling inside me we are losing our country are race and slowly we are losing our right to do anything about it i am pleased i am part of a party that is willing to stand tall and proud and say enough is enough. To all out there look around you see how our country is being taken over do not just sit their thinking it will not effect me because it will, every man and woman who does not agree with what they see who can not stand the way their country is being raped and torn apart should join the BNP the only party willing to stand up for the rights of us the native people of the UK.

  8. I am given to understand that Mohammed or versions of it is also becoming a very popular name for pets as well as cuddly toys

  10. I have been racking my brains over this statistic and do not understand how this has come to be.

    National statistics taken in England and Wales (2001) (I shall stick to England for the purpose of this debate) have shown that eighty-seven per cent of the population of England and 96 per cent of the population of Wales gave their ethnic origin as White British.

    White Irish people make up 1.2 per cent of the population of England and Wales as a whole, with the highest proportion in the London borough of Brent (6.9 per cent of the population). The largest proportions of White Other (that is, not White British or White Irish) people are in central London, particularly the borough of Kensington and Chelsea (25.3 per cent).

    London has the highest proportion of people from minority ethnic groups apart from more who identified themselves as of Pakistani origin, of whom there is a higher proportion in Yorkshire and the Humber (2.9 per cent) and the West Midlands (2.9 per cent).

    Two per cent of the population of England and Wales are Indian, with Leicester having the highest proportion (25.7 per cent).

    Bangladeshis formed 0.5 per cent of the population of England and Wales, with the highest proportion in the London borough of Tower Hamlets (33.4 per cent).

    In England and Wales, 1.1 per cent of people are Black Caribbean, 0.9 per cent are Black African and a further 0.2 per cent are from Other Black groups.

    Black Caribbeans form more than ten per cent of the population of the London boroughs of Lewisham, Lambeth, Brent and Hackney. Over ten per cent of Southwark, Newham, Lambeth and Hackney are Black African. More than two per cent of people describe themselves as Other Black in Hackney, Lambeth and Lewisham.

    Chinese people form more than two per cent of the population in Westminster, Cambridge, City of London and Barnet.

    The largest proportions of people of Mixed origin are in London, with the exception of Nottingham, where two per cent of people are Mixed White and Black Caribbean.

    This census was taken in 2001, and can be found at

    http://www.statistics.gov.uk/census2001/profiles/commentaries/ethnicity.asp

    Therefore it is OBVIOUS that the name Mohammed cannot be more popular than any English/white name, as there are simply less Asians in England than Whites. Its common sense people.

  11. I do agree and sympathize with indigenous population, In 41 years I have been here as a British Sikh, I have absorbed this country going from bad to worst, I blame Labour Government, Lefties, political correctness, do gooders who have let the people of this country down, the sooner we get rid of Labour the better. Here is some thing you ought to know; Back in 1974[Algerian President]Houari Boumedienne, the man who ousted Ben Bella, three years after Algerian Independence, spoke before the General Assembly of the United Nation and with circumlocutions he said” One day millions of men will leave the Southern hemisphere of this planet to burst into the Northern one. But not as friends. Because they will burst into conquer, and they will conquer by populating it with their children. Victory will come to us from the wombs of our women” If you notice this is exactly what the Muslims are doing, so I say wake up before it is too late. There will be more Mo-Ham-Mad(mohammeds)than you can think of.Log on http://www.thereligionofpeace.com

  13. I truly beleive that in my lifetime we will see a civil war with easily defined parameters of religion and maybe even colour!!!Of course this is something nobody wants but if it were a cause whereby the future of England was at stake then i’d step up to the plate.To my mind if future governments ignore the indigenous population then they will reap what they sow!!!!When the middle classes are affected and their neighbourhoods are infested with drug running knife crime mugging and petty criminal activity they’ll see the light until then the power brokers and media luvvies will live in their islington chiswick retreats ignorant of this beautiful land going quickly down the gurgler.Islam is a 5th column and needs to be fought with fire as its the only language they understand.

  14. This is just sad news for Britain. I’m with the late Bernard Manning when he said “If a dog is born in a Stable, does that make him a Horse?”

    That’s why this great island is going down hill fast. The quicker the Bnp get into power the better, they will put the Great back into Britain. Nick Griffin and the party are doing a great job, working to that goal. It’s never to late to change.

  15. This news is truly shocking! I am proud to be british but i definatly agree that we are rapidly losing our country and our abilty to do somthing about it! BNP could change this and get our country back and make it the strong independant country we should be!

  16. The average Pakistani family have 7 kids and this is in the UK.
    How much is that in child support?
    I should think thousands a year.
    The wife of the Glagow terrorist was in receipt of benefits and racked up £29000 per annum whilst her husband tried to murder the very people who paid for them all.
    Makes you think.
    Funny that a teddy called Mohammed was a blasphemy but anyone can call a kid by that name. Its not usual to call Christian children Jesus in the UK. However the popularity of Mohammed shows just how many children are being born to muslim parents here.

  17. This is just another example of the “Britain” we all know being over ran, Mohammed this is not and never will be a “british” name to me. I am a firm believer in Britain for the british, though I do not class myself as British I am English and always will be. British has become a multi-cultural society where the white englishman has become the minority, we are a minority in our own country, I see this as an insult to all we have fought for over the years. 40 years ago Enoch Powell warned of this but no one listened, look at our country now, he was right.

  18. Well as far as names are concerned, it may be usefull to know that our current Queen (Elizabeth) has a Jewish ‘Christian’ name. It means in Hebrew,’G-d is my Oath/Abundance’.
    ‘Britain’ itself is a corruption of the Roman name for Britannia, a supposed Celtic Goddess pertaining to one of the tribes inhabiting these islands when they first invaded in 55BC.
    If we wish to name our children enthinally ‘pure’ manes then we have to go back to post-or pre-Roman times and look up Celtic, British/Welsh, Norse, Saxon, Angel, Pictish or Gallic names.
    Examples are hidden in some of our place names: ‘Totta’ as in Tottenham; ‘Lud’ as in Ludgate, ‘Kent’ as in Kent, ‘Edmund’ as in Bury St.Edmunds.
    Or even as the Norwegians still practice, by naming their offspring after: Sunray, Bear, Eagle, Fineday, Honestmouth, Moon, Hairfine, Wolf, Thunder, Peace etc.

  19. Will the BNP introduce a list of government approved names similar to that of France and Denmark?

    It’s isn’t officially legal to name a baby in these contries Mohammed (or Zebedee for that matter) although many parents challenge the governments in the European Court of Human Rights.

  21. High immigration and high fertility in the immigrant population will result in civil unrest and situations like Kosovo within the UK. I wonder how many people within the UK have considered the possibility of dealing with the demands of a migrant enclave demanding seperation? It can only be a matter of a time unless we wake up soon.

  22. The world has become anti-white, especially in Britain. It is time to put up the borders, and stop non-whites from being able to enter white countries. It is not racism, it is about protecting ourselves from genocide by stealth. Anyone called Mohammed (or its variant spellings) or Aisha, or other Muslim names, should be sent packing. Laws need to be introdiced to stop it!

    Posted by Thumbelina | December 25, 2007, 4:14 am
  23. Here’s something that has crossed my mind.

    Could baby names from recent years be used as a barometer to determine how well ethnics have assimilated into Britain, and how much the British really support multiculturalism. Virtually all third generation Asians in Britain have Asian names rather than British names (unless they are Christian) which goes to show how foreign cultures still hold strong. Also, non European names have made virtually no impact with white parents who overwhelmingly continue to give their babies British names.”

We need to stop posting messages on here and do something about this invasion, which is exactly what it is otherwise it wont be long before mobs of asians are outside you’re homes threatening to behead you!.

  25. Why don’t those of us Christians/with Christian values, all name our children - Jack! Seriously, boy or girl (or neuter if you are a loony, labour leftie reading this and it makes you feel better)! If its a girl, then Jack can be short for Jackie - but Jack must go down as the first Christian name - don’t use forename please; it comes too close to a part of the male ‘attire’ and in any event, Christian Name really winds up the pc brigade. If its a boy, Jack can be short for…er…Jack! There, simple as that. Give your wonderful new-born baby boy or girl any number of other names that you like and one of which you intend to use anyway - just like the muslims. We do have something to learn from them! Actually ‘use’ only one in everyday conversation with your little treasure, or the poor thing will get confused as to his or her (or her or his or its if a loony labour etc yawn) identity! A bit like living in loony tunes labour, any colour will do as long as its not white Britain? Signing off, Jack Winston.

  26. Seriously frightening statistics, yet our lovely gov does not seem to mind one bit. Multicultural Britain…yeah right, if it keeps going like this only one culture and religion will remain. And sadly it is not the wonderful British one.

    Posted by reformedjames | January 4, 2008, 3:32 pm
  28. The words of a great MP spring to mind: Enoch Powell, who said if we let one in, we will open the floodgates to them all. In my opinion there was never a more true word spoken.
    If we British went to a Muslim country, would we get the same treatment as they do here?

    Posted by england4eva | January 8, 2008, 12:00 am
  29. The only reason the Leftist liberal elite politicians and hangers on appease the Muslims is that they see it as a way to stay on the political gravy train for a few more stops. They have used social engineering to ensure their nests are feathered for life. Their social engineering and manipulation of statistics are a means to an end. Although Mohammed is the so called top boys name they have included in the compilation of the statistic all the different spellings of it. Surely this is a blatent manipulation of the facts to create a positive political statistic.

  30. Remember the British teacher who faced 40 lashes in a Sudanese jail for insulting Islam’s prophet by letting children name a teddy bear Mohammed.
    Well how many Mohammed’s reside in her majesty prisons? Why is it that many Muslims named Mohammed in Islamic countries who commit rape and murder are not considered to be insulting the prophet?

  32. I’m a 19 year old from Gateshead (Tyne and Wear) and heard from my dad how a Muslim got off with paying money for extra shopping. He had some kind of vouchers but the vouchers didn’t cover the cost for his shopping hence the fact he was asked nicely by the checkout assistant to pay the sufficient money which he had went over, he refused point blank, until the manager came only for him to happily tell him to forget all about it and go home. If that was flamin me I would have been bleeding CHARGED, I love the BNP and will support/follow them and defend them until my death!

Hey Bruce, can i dig your mobby for a moment? Have you got Bruce’s number, I wanna find out if Michael’s coming along.’
    ‘Michael? Did you say Michael? That’s gonna cause a little confusion.’ Said Bruce. ‘I agree’ said Bruce. ‘Let’s keep it simple. Rule One: Everyone’s called ‘Bruce’, unless they want to be called ‘Bruce’, or ‘Bruce’ or something. We can celebrate diversity… Hand me another tinny. Bruce.’
