Britain's changing names: How variations of Muhammad became the UK's favourite name over the past 30 years - and now account for one in every 40 boys

Muhammad was today officially crowned the most popular name for baby boys in England and Wales. Each year the ONS analyses the latest baby name data, uncovering trends in how certain names have fallen out of favour or soared in popularity. Mohammed, a different spelling to the one crowned most popular in 2023, entered the top 100 boys' names for England and Wales 100 years ago, debuting at 91st in 1924. Of the top 100 names given to boys, Bodhi saw the highest one year leap. New entries to the top 100 baby names include Hazel, Lilah, Autumn, Nevaeh and Raya for girls, as well as Jax, Enzo and Bodhi for boys.
