THE HAGUE, 13/08/09 - Mohamed is by far the most popular name for babies in the Netherlands' four major cities. Additionally, many more boys are called Mohamed than the statistics suggest, Elsevier magazine reported yesterday.
Party for Freedom (PVV) MPs Geert Wilders and Sietse Fritsma requested the cabinet in written questions this week for a Top 7 of the most popular names in the big cities and for the Netherlands as a whole. Elsevier already received this data from the Social Insurance Bank (SVB).
The SVB data shows that in the four major cities - Amsterdam, Rotterdam, The Hague and Utrecht - Mohamed (and the variations thereon like Mohammed and Muhammed) is by far the most frequently given name among boys. In The Hague, the various variants of the name of the Islamic Prophet even take first, second and fifth place in the Top 5.
In Amsterdam, Mohamed and Mohammed come first and fourth, and Mohamed also comes top in Utrecht. In Rotterdam, Jayden is the most popular name, but if the various spellings of the Islamic prophet are combined, his name is also the unchallenged number one there.
SVB generally only publishes national baby-naming statistics. Elsevier comments that the various ways of writing 'Mohamed' are also regarded by SVB as different names - as a result of which this name misleadingly fails to appear in the Top 20 nationally, the magazine notes. If the four most customary spellings of 'Mohamed' are combined, the prophet's name comes 16th nationwide.
The dutch have volunteered for dhimmitude in their own country.
Holland probably has more mosques than windmills by now.
Oh the sweet irony of naming a child after a child molester..
Ping
Dutch gays will be sure to enjoy the diversity that is Holland has become.
There goes the neighborhood.
I think Mohammed is pretty high up on the list in the U.K. as well.
Europe is dead.
Mohamed Christian Andersen?
I wouldn’t dishonor a cockroach by naming it Mohammed.
I wonder why. Some celebrity that I've never heard of?
I didn’t know Mohammed was a Dutch name.
I wonder which of the Euro countries will be the first to kneel to islam. I’d wager the Netherlands will be first. Sarkozy-led France may be slowing its progression to muslim domination. Most of Germany’s muslims are relatively secular Turks, so their numbers may be a bit misleading. The UK seems to be in a rush to embrace it, though.
