Muhammad is England’s most popular boys’ baby name for first time
Muhammad has become the most popular baby name for boys in England and Wales for the first time, new data from the Office for National Statistics (ONS) has revealed.
The name has been among the top 10 names for baby boys since 2016, but has now overtaken the previous favourite, Noah. Oliver was third in the 2023 rankings for England and Wales.
For baby girls Olivia remained the most popular name for the eighth year in a row, with Amelia and Isla the second and third most popular.
Each year, the ONS analyses the latest baby name data, revealing the most popular – and unpopular – names in England and Wales. The rankings were created using the exact spellings of names given at birth registration, meaning similar names with different spellings were counted separately.
Three variant spellings of the Arabic name Muhammad made the list of the top 100 baby boys’ names in England and Wales in previous years, but this is the first year that just one spelling of the name has managed to top the list.
