In total, 5,991 baby boys were given some version of the name Mohammed, with 6,928 baby boys named Jack.
Thomas was third with 5,921 names, with Joshua and Oliver rounding out the top five.
According to The Times, if the growth of the name Mohammed continues -- it rose by 12 percent last year -- the name will take the top spot by the end of this year.
Great Britain is slowly sinking into the quicksand known as islam........

If “Sarah” is the top name for baby girls, that is entirely because of my family.
It’s always helpful when your enemy identifies himself for you.
That wanker Prince Charles will probably read this and change HIS name to Mohammed.
Is London's future Islamic?
It’s the capital’s fastest growing religion, based on noble traditions and compassionate principles, yet Islam can still be tainted by mistrust and misunderstanding. Here Time Out argues that an Islamic London would be a better place

Inter-faith relations
In an Islamic London, Christians and Jews – with their allegiance to the Bible and the Talmud – would be protected as ‘peoples of the book’. Hindus and Sikhs manage to live alongside a large Muslim population in India, so why not here? Although England has a long tradition of religious bigotry against, for instance, Roman Catholics, it is reasonable to assume that under the guiding hand of Islam a civilised accommodation could be made among faith groups in London. This welcoming stance already exists in the capital in the form of the City Circle (see Yahya Birt interview), which encourages inter-faith dialogue and open discussion.

Social justice
Each Muslim is obliged to pay zakat, a welfare tax of 2.5 per cent of annual income, that is distributed to the poor and the needy. If the working population of London, 5.2 million, was predominantly Muslim this would produce approximately £3.2bn each year. More importantly, everyone would be obliged to consider those Londoners who haven’t shared their good fortune. London would become a little less cruel.
Race relations
Under Islam all ethnicities are equal. Once you have submitted to Allah you are a Muslim – it doesn’t matter what colour you are. End of story.
This POS is long; I've only posted a small portion of it. You can read the rest (and a few angry comments from readers) here.
Could it be because white Brits have about 1.7 kids per person, and Muslims breed like flies?
If this Shamnesty bill gets shoved down our throats...Jose’ will top the list of “American” boy’s names in short order.
Many people think it sounds absurd, but at some point in the future serious people will have to think about either reforming Islam forcibly or banning it. If Muslims cannot reform their religion and make the needed changes, the rest of the world will have to do it before things get worse (violent) than they actually are. An eventuality which is closer than many people think.
Oh! And note tagline.
Sometimes reading stuff like this makes me feel like I’m in a bad 50’s sci-fi movie.
I wonder where Mohammed ranks in the U.S? Thank God Luis is the number one name for boys in the U.S. I knew Bush had a plan there somewhere!
Once Mohammed is the number one name for boys in ANY country you are about 2 generations away from the stone age, Muslims haven’t established a sane, stable country since...help me out here.
Where does Hagar rank?
Or Ishmael for that matter.....
