    Bet the right wingers are going wild over Muhammed being at the top.

    For those “concerned” it’s important to remember these three facts -

    • Statistics means that if 5 boys in 95 are named Muhammed, it’s going to be one of the most popular names
    • Many cultures name their sons a variation of Muhammed, but they go by their second name mostly
    • Muhammed has been one of the most common names on the planet for several decades now

    I’m more confused by Noah being so popular. What’s brought that on?

      Hahaha that’s totally jogged a memory for me - there’s this right wing guy on YouTube called Tim Pool, and he went on a weird little rant like a year or two ago about how he saw this AI video of a room with a glass wall, overlooking a village in Christmas time. It’s snowing outside, but it’s cosy inside the room, with a TV playing old cartoons, something like that – he’s going on and on about how nostalgic that is and then he’s like:

      “…and that’s all going away. Because people keep calling their kids Mohammed.”

      Absolutely laughed my arse off, you honestly couldn’t write a character like that 😂

        Ha, Tim Pool the guy who claims he didn’t realise he was being funded by Russian disinformation organisations. Classic right wing dolt.
