Muhammad has become the most popular baby name for boys for the first time, new data from the Office for National Statistics (ONS) have revealed. The Telegraph has more.
The name has overtaken Noah, which came in second. Oliver was third in the 2023 rankings.
Olivia remained the most popular name for baby girls for the eighth year in a row, with Amelia and Isla the second and third most popular for girls.
Each year, the ONS analyses the latest baby name data, revealing the most popular – and unpopular – names in the U.K..
In 2023 there were 4,661 Muhammads born across England and Wales, up from 4,177 in 2022.
In contrast, only 4,382 Noahs were born in 2023, down from 4,586 the previous year.
In previous years, combining all the different spellings of Muhammad would have made it the top name, but this is the first year that just one spelling of the name has topped the list.
This year, the next most common variant of the Arabic name – Mohammed – is also in the top 50, coming in at the 28th most popular name in 2023, down from 27th place the year before.
An analysis by the Telegraph found that two of the fastest-growing boys’ names in 2023 were Arabic in origin: Ayman, up 47%, and Hasan, up 43%. Among girls, Arabic names also saw significant growth, with Aizal and its variant Ayzal rising 479% and 183%, respectively. Inaya, meaning “care” or “protection” in Arabic, increased by 48%.
The result is not so surprising given that in 2023 around a third (31.8%) of births in England and Wales were to non-U.K.-born mothers.

No mate, no one has to just accept anything! Neither pharmacists nor politicians have the right to determine how millions of people live their lives. You can advise all you like, but that’s it.
People need to start remembering they work for us, we pay their wages. Anyone who wishes to follow their advice should feel free to heed it, but none of them have the right, morally or legally, to force this on us. It is truly time for a political reawakening in the west.
I saw a headline in a Dutch daily earlier today saying that citizens would have to change their lives from now on because of corona. It was behind a paywall so I only saw the headline, but it’s rather coincidental it’s implying the same thing as this person in Australia. It’s almost as if its scripted…
If you’d like to read articles on Trouw, Volkskrant, Parool and NRC websites, even when they are behind a paywall, here is the trick: wait for the article to load completely. Then reload the page with F5, next hit Escape several times before page completely reloads. Et voila: the complete article becomes visible. Sometimes you have to repeat this for it to work, it needs timing. (Unforunately it doesn’t work for Telegraaf website.)

Come and fucking make me.
I used to be a polite, respectful person.
But after 2 years of this bollox – “Come and fucking make me” has pretty much become my mindset now.
These c*nts need to re-learn that they don’t own other people’s bodies.
F*** off you drug dealer.
I agree with the head of the WHO.

Boosters also kill adults. Long past tim for the politicians and their advisors to be sent to jail. Many of them though, may well need something more final than a prison cell.
for once I agree with the fact checkers. he started saying “kildren” then corrected himself.
Of course he probably made that mistake because he was actually thinking that they do kill children.
Fancy that, somebody pushing a policy stance which will provide another cash cow for his industry. I am surprised some of these thick journalists can actually read and write, let alone considering issues such as conflicts of interest when choosing who to interview.
Never ask a barber if you need a haircut…
It’s beginning to look a lot like genocide.
Excellent, that should have been Christmas no.1
Do they know it’s Genocide at all.
That’s a very fair assessment and genocide brought to you by your own government.
Has this individual done a proper risk benefit analysis of a twice yearly vaccine?
Eg, a few months ago the JCVI decided that the risks of the vaccine were greater than the benefits for those <18 (obviously this was overruled by non-experts in vaccines). This was based on having two doses. I’d presume that if they knew that a 16 year old would have 10+ doses by the time they left college the risk:benefit analysis would be firmly on the side of risk.
This is doubly true now that the risk of covid appears to be diminishing rapidly, as is the effectiveness of the vaccines.
I also wonder where this expert got their understanding of the effectiveness of mask wearing — ‘science’ says that they don’t offer any substantial protection.
The people pushing these policies are not incompetents they are high level criminals. criminals
Besides your comments on this, I have not seen one single reference made to what should be an obvious point.
Continued administration of any medical product carries risks, what are these risks, are they cumulative, etc. This should apply doubly to a completely new technology that is being applied, triply when the illness being tackled seems to be becoming less of a threat by the day.
It’s just not, and we won’t.
I really can’t stand any more of these idiotic people. With apologies for the language – this guy is a fucking moron. Just put the the cunt up against a wall and shoot him.
Can’t fault any of that. Precise and well thought out.
US Marine style – shout, show, shove, shoot.
With each new jab, less people take it than the one before.
This guy isn’t going to get his wish. The more they push, the more people will wake up and the fewer will take the next jab.
How does he account for the fact that the vast majority of the existence of mankind, we didn’t have vaccines and yet we didn’t become extinct?
I would hope that’s the case but what if they keep rolling out new ‘variants’?
Further proof of criminality.
‘But now we have the vaccines, and we have to take them, to guarantee health…’ is his dislogic.
It’s a shell game, with transparent shells, and punters still losing every time!
One should hope.
…then again, I don’t do hope.
What legitimate authority does this SS Dentist have over Australians or anyone else?
Isn’t what he is saying really that he want to make ‘loadsa money’ year on year out of a coerced and terrorized population, as medical capitalists dictate obedience and reap billions?
Time to form independent medical bodies to safeguard the real health interests of ordinary people, and ignore diktats from tools of Satan.
How are the Australian death camps doing?
How about every Australian has to give up a kidney as well?
What exactly was it that first attracted you to the multi billion dollar vaccine industry, Mr Twomey?
What a fucking tool! Not a shred of science…simply do as you’re told. This guy has zero authority and should shut his trap.
Australia is lost.
A Mad Max future is still a future of sorts!
In retrospect, Mad Max was optimistic.
Disgraceful hysterical extremist with a fetish
Trent Twomey, the National President of the Pharmacy Guild in Australia
There’s the clue, right there in the first line.
‘Stick this in your arm every 6 months, and I get to buy a beach-front mansion in Noosa’.
Over TWO winters……Australia’s C-19 mortality is 2,173…..they won’t reveal the profile of those who have been taken.
VIC…….1,476
NSW…..648
ACT……15
TAS……13
WA……9
QLD……7
SA……..4
NT…….1
Quite clearly, there is broad NATURAL IMMUNITY in the whole country.
Wouldn’t it be cheaper, more efficient and more lawful if instead of jabbing the whole country, they tested everyone for immunity?
Or just abolished the entire shaet show and then shot the shites.
No masks, tests or vaccines needed. The figures above amount to little more than a mild cold. Twomey is part of the Gates criminal conspiracy to depopulate and control the few that will survive the 5G sensitive nanotech “poison death shots”.
Nothing can beat the immunity created by the Wonder vaccines!!!!
This should be the case in every country – the UK included. It’s vital and valuable data but it doesn’t fit with the tunnel-vision vaccine agenda.
Not really a suprise. These people are deranged
Never had one, will never have one. Model that Cobber.
The Premier of NSW and the PM have rejected mandates for masks and vaccines.Try again, numbnuts.
Go Fuck yourself Trent.
President of Australian Pharmacy Guild says that people MUST accept a drug that Big Pharma make huge profits from……..well, he’s not stupid is he? But he also thinks that we are.
The full vaccinated will never be fully vaccinated…..
……..yet nobody knows what continued jabbing will do to peoples’ immune systems.
Its like those books we read as kids with mad scientists (trying) to rule the world
Just like the flu, if anyone wants periodic jabs be my guest. This fight is about mandates and digital passports
I’d actually encourage the former.
The sooner we will be rid of the most fanatic ones, like him.
My sister-in-law is a senior pharmacist in the UK, good at what she does but is incapable of independent thought or reasoning, and I absolutely would not take any kind of health advice from her at face value.
She is currently ill with ‘covid’ after three jabs, but dots have most certainly not been joined, no sir.
Sorry to hear that. Like millions, she is probably brainwashed to never flinch at the prospect of dozens of vaccines still to come – with neither one ever ‘working’.
God help us all.
Alas, for her they are working.
She obviously would have been twice as poorly without them.
Doh!
Alternatively, you can accept you have to sniff the hair of an agitated honey badger.
Maybe we could agree to accept it on the understanding the pfizer publish all details to do with the vaccine trails and also that the vaccine manufactures agree to take full financial liability for any adverse reactions. If they do not trust their products enough to do this then why should we put them in our bodies.
I think Pfizer trust them to do what they are meant to do. They just don’t want the public knowing what that is.
Meanwhile, just to prove there are sane people in Australia, the resignation letter of a Queensland doctor, forced to resign by political fascists after 41 years for reasons of bureaucratic madness:
https://cmnnews.org/story/letter-from-a-doctor-to-a-health-minister-T7iSvHSp3c1aADxdwCvoD
That’s a beaut of a letter.
A brilliant letter!
Good! We always said and knew that all of this stuff was going to be forever, so the more openly this is made clear, the better, as it will wake more people up.
The problem people have understanding what is going on, is their continuing naive belief that national governments control the agenda. They don’t, haven’t for some time.
Its an alliance of big finance, transnational corporations, tech and bio-tech under the umbrella of organisations such as the BIS.
The control is not classical command structure, its far more nebulous. There are no ‘heads’ to cut off. Its much more an alignment of interests. But make no mistake these lose affiliations control the world.
They have seen an opportunity even dire need to reinvent the capitalist financial models after 2008. They have endured a couple of resent setbacks; Brexit and Trump. They decided that the general dumbing down and messaging of the western nations had proceeded to such an extent that a suitable ‘enemy’ could instill enough fear to bring about the necessary social changes that ensured a runway to installation of the totalitarian state necessary to manage the ‘reset’.
The timing of omicron ensures that ’28dayPCR’ rule will bring increased reported deaths, however mild the variant might be. This will get them over the final hurdle of mandated vaccinations and the ‘passport’ which is the bio-ID required for control as it expands to cover all aspects of what will pass for ‘life’.
I share people’s desire for optimism, that omicron will prove the turning point. If it was really about health and it had just been bungled from the start our optimism is well founded.
However in the words of my current favourite Scot ‘ Its not about what they say its about’ and for many the final confirmation of that is shortly to happen.
All those above saying Australia has gone mad, do you really think the same thing won’t be rolled out everywhere else? How else are they going to justify their passports and why do you think they’re currently going nuts over boosters here?
But thankfully the propaganda juggernaut is appearing to derail elsewhere.
I posted this on the daily update page a bit earlier about Portugal:
“Despite being vaccine leaders and over 83% of their over-65s boosted, it appears Portugal is reimplementing harsh restrictions:
https://www.portugalresident.com/omicron-wave-portugal-plunged-into-morass-of-new-measures/
The positive note is how balanced, if not sceptical, the article is.
Only a few weeks ago it probably would have been censored and labelled conspiracy-theory material.
We’re starting to see some progress people!”
And as you may already be aware, over here we’ve got the likes of bedwetter-in-chief Owen Jones suddenly realising that perhaps lockdowns & restrictions are not such a good idea.
Owen Jones; I remember his name. Must have read some of his articles years ago.
Apparently Bruce McScrotum of the Australian Used Car Dealers Association said that it’s quite clear that every Australian citizen has to come to terms with having to purchase a used car every six months .. there are no other options
Just think it was about this time last year that the pig dictator was vomiting out the lie, a vaccine is available and once the vulnerable are vaccinated we can return to normal. Happy anniversary bedwetters, book your 4th jab when you have your 3rd.
Or maybe Trent Twomey will need to accept being carted off to a dung heap by a pitchfork-wielding mob. He’s playing a high stakes game with his crazy ass announcements for sure.
Trent, Could I see the long-term data on having multiple boosters over a prolonged period of time of this so-called “vaccine” please? Oh, there isn’t any is there? As a fit and healthy adult in his 30s – who has recovered from COVID-19 – with two dependents, I think I will not take part in that experiment thank you. Last time I checked, I lived in a liberal democracy not a totalitarian state (although we have been heading that way and time will tell if I am mistaken) so I do not have to “just need to accept” your nonsense.
Meanwhile in Denmark:
“”There’s something antigenic in Denmark: boosters show negative vaccine efficacy for cases”
vaccines, including boosters are showing strong negative efficacy vs omicron
this is consistent with omicron being as OAS enabled escape variant
omicron continues to show evidence of mildness relative to past variant
https://boriquagato.substack.com/p/theres-something-antigenic-in-denmark
What he needs is a swift kick in the Bollocks !!!…
Wow, Trent must be going for the biggest brown envelope of all from his NWO & Big Pharma overlords.
Just reverse the Shute formula and nuke Australia.
…it’s the kindest thing you could do for the incarcerated, there.
Just. Say. No!
I used to fancy an extended holiday in Australia and NZ. You couldn’t pay me to go there now.
When such jabs provide less and less benefit (and the immune response has declined with each dose), the costs will be noticed and debated. There will also be more and more evidence on T and B cell instead of antibodies as the key to Covid response.
Might such booster still be “required” for those over 60? Sure, not that it will be enforced. In the end they can’t keep Covid fear going forever and as it slips away, people simply won’t comply.
Ivermectin help reduce the severity of vaccine adverse reactions. If someone is suffering from a post vaccine syndrome, FLCCC clinicians and a growing network of colleagues have reported significant clinical responses to ivermectin. Because Ivermectin has 5 different mechanisms of action against coronaviruses, the medication is also effective with the different variants of the virus. Get your Ivermectin while you still can! https://ivmpharmacy.com
Trent, the Covid Gravy Train is closer to the end of the line than you can imagine.
I’m so so glad I’m not Australian. I thought I was living in a madhouse.
It would appear that descendants of the Nazi hierarchy moved to Australia as well as South America!!
