In an intriguing¹ cultural milestone², “Muhammad” has emerged as the most popular baby name for boys in England and Wales, overtaking Noah. This revelation comes from the 2023 report by the Office for National Statistics (ONS), which showcases how names reflect the changing dynamics³ of society.

The name Muhammad, a staple⁴ in the top ten since 2016, has steadily⁵ climbed the ranks. In 2023, it claimed the top spot, cementing its place in history. Noah and Oliver followed closely, rounding out the top three boys’ names. For girls, Olivia continues its reign⁶ as the most chosen name, maintaining a streak⁷ that began in 2016. Amelia and Isla retained their positions as the second and third most popular names, respectively.

The report highlighted regional variations, with Muhammad dominating in four out of nine regions in England, including London, the Midlands, and the North. Noah claimed the top spot in the East Midlands, East of England, and the South East, while Oliver was the most popular in the North East. Meanwhile, Arthur led the charts in the South West.

Girls’ names also showed regional nuances. Olivia was the top choice in five regions, including the North East and South East. Amelia took the lead in the remaining areas of central England. Wales mirrored England’s preferences for girls, with Olivia reigning⁸ supreme⁹.

Data also revealed a disparity in naming conventions for boys and girls. Parents leaned towards a smaller pool of names for boys—29,560 unique names compared to 35,000 for girls. This smaller selection amplified¹⁰ the popularity of top-ranked boys’ names like Muhammad, Noah, and Oliver.
