walshie 2,804 Posted August 13, 2013 Report Share Posted August 13, 2013 It's also a bit misleading as you can spell it about 5 different ways. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
pip1968 2,490 Posted August 13, 2013 Report Share Posted August 13, 2013 It's also a bit misleading as you can spell it about 5 different ways. thats what i was thinking,,,,Is it just me or does it seem like most Paki's names are chosen by throwing a scrabble bag off a wall and seeing what letters fall out? 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Born Hunter 17,775 Posted August 13, 2013 Report Share Posted August 13, 2013 Taking into account spelling variations Muhammad is the 2nd most popular nationaly! I'm not sure whether or not to be concerned by that statictic though, it's just a play on statistics. The analogy being 100% of 2% of the total is greater than 2% of 98% of the total, if that makes sense. The concerning statics are growth of immigrant populations.........

Yeah I re-read that, What I meant was; If the muslim population is 2% of the UK population but they all name their boys Mohammad whereas the other 98% of the UK populus name their boys from an assortment of 100+ other names then it's quite possible that Mohammad will be the most popular name but has no real bearing on population ratios. As the saying goes, "there are three types of lies: lies, damned lies and statistics". My point, the only statistics of interest would be immigrant population growth. That's a bit more black and white, so to speak.... 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
