I used to look after entries for County level sports events where the kids were blocked into two year age bands
e.g. under 13, under 15 etc.

It was very noticeable how the popular names changed for both boys and girls in each age group.

Is this global or just the UK?

This is just the UK.

Granted, it will be a nice bit of chum thrown out for many perpetually angry little mouth-breathers on Facebook and The Sun forums, but this is the source:

Ultimate source (such as ONS data) isn't mentioned in the 'article', however.

Yeah, it does but it reflects the birth rate but also most Muslim boys are traditionally given a variation of Mohammed as their first name, but not all use it and go by their second name, think it was about honouring the prophet rather than the whole class being called Mohammed or any lack of imagination.

So, it skews the data towards thinking that the bulk of babies are Muslim, which will set the Daily Mail readers off.

Excellent, none of my 4 are on that list.

4 kids with names so obscure they don’t make a list of fairly council names = council.

[JuniorD]

Hardly ever see any baby Normans or Nigels any more
