More new Mohammeds than Georges in Britain

A recently-released study by Britain's Office of National Statistics reveals that "Jack" was the most popular given name for boys in 2006, while the most popular for girls was "Olivia".

The name "Mohammed" ranked number 22, while its variant "Muhammad" ranked number 44. If placed together, the popular Muslim name would beat out "George" for the number 14 spot.
