How can Mohammad, the most common name on Earth, be 3rd highest and yet McLovin isn't even charted? 🤔

But also: Give it up for Baylor and Saylor Moon!

    In Britain they tend to count the variant spellings as different names - I’ve worked places with so many Mohammeds they went by their middle names.

    Similar thing at my job. US-based, but lots of immigrant engineers in my office and some overseas teams too. No shortage of Mohammads, Mohammeds, and Muhammads, plus a few Mahmouds in there for good measure.
