Yo Mo'


If you are a very new parent in England, it is likely that you may consider calling your child Mohammed. It was one of the top 20 babies names in the England and Wales last year. Apparently it is also one of the most popular names in the US - in the penal institutions, anyway…

Thomas was the fourth most popular name in the top 10 last year, up one place compared to the list of popular names way back in 1904. No such luck with the girls lists, no one wants to call their little girl Doris any more.
