Is Noah the most popular boys name in the Netherlands?

Post by UpstateSCHokie »

Well, not quite....

According to the media it is, but there's another name that is actually more popular. Why would the media not want to tell people this?

======================================

Dutch mainstream media reported that Noah was the most popular baby name for boys in the Netherlands, but a little digging turned out a different finding.

The name Noah was putatively considered the most popular boy’s name for 2017, having been given to 635 new-born boys in the Netherlands. But as VoE reports, a journalist from broadcaster Powned did some research into the database, however, and noticed that another name, a non-traditional Dutch name, was slightly more prevalent.

This journalist checked for Mohammed and its alternative spellings.

He thus counted:

Mohammed 221, Mohamed 211, Muhammed 110, Mohammad 51, Muhammad 43 and reached a total of 636. Other forms like Mohamad, Muhamed, Muhammet, Mouhamed, Muhamad and Mahamuud could not be checked for “privacy reasons”.

Of course, other forms of Noah like Noa and Noach should be checked as well for the sake of fairness: both, however, were not listed according to the Dutch journalist.

The author says, it is the second year in a row that Mohammed is the most popular name for baby boys: In 2016 there were 724 baby’s named Mohammed (or one of it’s Arabic alternatives) in the Netherlands.

He also mentions that the same tendency was seen in England in 2016: It is not Oliver, but Mohammed (with all its permutations), that is the most popular name for baby boys.

It's only going to get worse from here. The Dutch are too busy paying for IP's model welfare state to have kids. Of course, rent seeking is the reason Muhammad is the most popular name there to begin with.

Going to get interesting when they run out of other peoples' money....

‘Mohammed’ on Course to be Most Popular Baby Name in Germany
Sean Gallup
by Chris Tomlinson25 Jan 20183,884

The name Mohammed and its many spelling variations are on course to become one of the most popular names in Germany going from 97th to 26th most popular in less than a decade.

According to the Gesellschaft für Deutsche Sprache (Society for German Language, GfdS), often labelled as the most important language society in Germany, the name Mohammed has seen a rapid rise in popularity, though the name could be even more popular than their figures suggest, Die Welt reports.

GfdS data, like many similar statistics, do not take into consideration all of the different spellings of Mohammed such as Mohamad, Mohamed, Mehmet, and others.

In Austria, the daily newspaper Kronen Zeitung compiled data using all the variants of the name and found that Mohammed soared in popularity from 5th overall to 3rd among baby boys born in Vienna.
While the current numbers in Germany are based on statistics from 2016, the numbers from 2017 will likely be released in the coming months.

In the city of Herne, around 17.2 per cent of the 161,306 inhabitants were migrants in 2017 – up from 16.4 per cent in 2016. That year, Mohammed was the third most popular name in the city.

Andrea Ewels, Managing Director of GfdS, said: “The development is, of course, related to the wave of immigration,” and added that she expected Mohammed to be in the top 10 names by 2021 or 2022.

Mohammed is already one of the most popular, if not the most popular name for baby boys in many places across Europe. In September, Breitbart London reported that Mohammed was, for the fifth year running, the most popular boy’s name in London and the West Midlands.

When all the variations of the spelling of the name are taken into account, it is also the most popular boy’s name in England and Wales.

The rise of the popularity of the name Mohammed is coupled with the population growth in many Western European countries due to mass migration.

In the UK, a report from the Office for National Statistics (ONS) last July showed that 98 per cent of the population growth was due to mass migration. In Sweden and Germany, mass migration was also the sole factor behind population growth.
