No, we have to go backwards a few centuries:

Great! Now all we need is all the Christians naming their sons Jesus! 8O

To each their own...

Good. The world is being overrun by Aidans and Madisons. :C
Why would anyone want to name their daughter after a street in Manhattan? How 'bout Broadway or Wall (St.)? wink
What happened to good old Marys and Susans?

Of course, it could've been worse

PS
There are now no less than 11, yes 11, different spellings of Mohammed officially recorded in England:
Muhammad
Mohammad
Mohammod
Mahamed
etc etc with others reportedly reportedly out there (way out there)from the "old country"
Perhaps something along the lines of:
Manyhammeds
Muchohameds
Mnymorehommads
Perhaps we can add to the cultural diversity by creating our own literary vision of the unique and different spellings available for our personal enrichment. I await your creative responses...

Oh sure, it's all fun and games now. Just wait til they all hit 1st and 2nd grade!

Philip said "Mohammad is a big dummy!" - KABOOM!
Little Johnny said "Muhammed is a poo-poo head!" - KABOOM!
"Mohammad! Did you throw a rock at Janet?" - KABOOM!
"Teacher! Timmy is on a crusade against me!" - KABOOM!

I think elementary schools in England will be blowing up right and left! wink
