Muhammad is #2
As good of a name as it may be, I am NOT naming my kid Muhammad...
Just think.. Muhammad is widely regarded to be the most popular name on earth. But only Muslims name their kids Muhammad. And Muslims are only 25% of the earth's population. And only roughly 50% of Muslims are male. So what does that tell you about the percentage of Muslim males that are named Muhammad? Dude...
Muhammad is now second only to Jack as the most popular name for baby boys in Britain and is likely to rise to No 1 by next year, a study by The Times has found. The name, if all 14 different spellings are included, was shared by 5,991 newborn boys last year, beating Thomas into third place, followed by Joshua and Oliver.

It is always mentioned that Mohammed is the most popular name for Muslims. But just to add little extra light on that fact, a lot of Muslims use Mohammed as the first of two names on the birth certificate but the person goes actually by the second name (pretty much like the middle name here). Sometimes you don’t even know that the guy has Mohammed in his name until you see an official document. Also, other variations of the name are probably not considered in these statistics (like Mahmood, Ahmed, etc). If they count these the numbers will be much higher.
