Balducci, like I said...: Times ON LIne:
Muhammad is No 2 in boy's names. Helen Nugent and Nadia Menuhin 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. Scholars said that the name’s rise up the league table was driven partly by the growing number of young Muslims having families, coupled with the desire to name their child in honour of the Prophet. Muhammad Anwar, Professor of Ethnic Relations at Warwick University, said: “Muslim parents like to have something that shows a link with their religion or with the Prophet.” Although the official names register places the spelling Mohammed at No 23, an analysis of the top 3,000 names provided by the Office for National Statistics (ONS) puts Muhammad at No 2 once the 14 spellings are taken into account. If its popularity continues – it rose by 12 per cent last year – the name will take the top spot by the end of this year. It first entered the Top 30 in 2000. Read the rest at Kregg's link above. Thanks Kregg. Balducci..that's what I was 'ouching' about.

Ah, I see.
By the way, I found this page listing popular names in the U.S., and it lets you investigate the popularity of a name since 1992. http://www.ssa.gov/cgi-bin/babyname.cgi I was curious, so I looked up the results for Mohamed etc. in the States. It would be interesting to see where it ranks if these statistics were combined. Popularity of the male name Mohamed Year of birth Rank 2006 467 2005 479 2004 505 2003 507 2002 503 2001 448 2000 473 1999 499 1998 502 1997 557 1996 615 1995 621 1994 670 1993 708 1992 734 Popularity of the male name Muhammad Year of birth Rank 2006 639 2005 688 2004 679 2003 648 2002 659 2001 588 2000 620 1999 703 1998 726 1997 720 1996 774 1995 779 1994 865 1993 885 1992 907 Popularity of the male name Mohammed Year of birth Rank 2006 633 2005 623 2004 611 2003 603 2002 571 2001 481 2000 520 1999 493 1998 524 1997 541 1996 582 1995 598 1994 614 1993 677 1992 678 Popularity of the male name Mohammad Year of birth Rank 2006 589 2005 632 2004 622 2003 564 2002 531 2001 489 2000 466 1999 503 1998 488 1997 512 1996 514 1995 546 1994 584 1993 563 1992 588

I like Mohammed as a name, you can shorten it to Mo, or perhaps Ed.
