According to the Daily Mail, the British government is attempting to hide the popularity of the name “Mohammed” in the United Kingdom. The deceitful list only includes typically British names such as Jack, Oliver, and Harry.

This week, the Office of National Statistics published a list of the most popular boys’ names in Britain: Jack, Oliver, Thomas, Harry, Joshua, Alfie, Charlie, Daniel.

They reflect a cultural tradition as old as the nation’s history, and would provoke approving nods from Jack the Ripper, Oliver Cromwell, Thomas Becket and Harry Hotspur.

There is just one small problem: the list is deceitful. In reality, the third most popular choice for boy children born last year in England and Wales was not Thomas, but Mohammed.

You see, Mohammed is spelled many different ways, but they’re all used with the intention of referring to the same individual: The Muslim prophet.

When you add up all of the different spellings of the name, you find it’s the third most popular name for boys in England and Wales.
