Muhammad Is The Top Baby Name For Boys In England And Wales For Third Year In A Row
A recent report has caused controversy over the rapid increase of the Muslim population in the United Kingdom. In 2025, “Muhammad” was the most popular boy’s name in England and Wales for the third consecutive year, according to the Office for National Statistics. Rupert Lowe, leader of Restore Britain, criticized this demographic change, expressing concern over what he perceives as shifting societal norms. The Muslim community in the UK numbers approximately 4 million, making up 6% of the population, and contributed significantly to the country’s growth between 2011 and 2021. Lowe also released a report alleging that some young Muslim men are involved in criminal activities, including kidnapping and assaulting girls as young as 11, with such cases reported across nearly 40% of local districts.
A new report sparks backlash over the rapid growth of the United Kingdom’s Muslim population.Muhammad was the top baby name in England and Wales in 2025, the Office for National Statistics posted Thursday. This marks the third year in a row that name topped the charts.
“‘Muhammad’ has comfortably topped the list for the most popular boy name for the third year running,” Restore Britain leader Rupert Lowe posted. “You can call me Islamophobic, I really don’t care … This is awful and demonstrates the rapidly changing demographics of our country.”
Lowe’s office and Restore UK did not immediately respond to the Daily Caller News Foundation’s request for comment.
There are around 4 million Muslims living the UK, representing 6% of the nation’s population, the Muslim Council of Britain reported March 2025. Muslims reportedly accounted for around 32% of the UK’s population growth between 2011-2021.
Lowe released “The Rape Gang Inquiry Report” in June. The report alleged that some young Muslim men would befriend, kidnap, drug, and rape girls as young as 11, often forcing those they impregnated into getting abortions. This occurred in nearly 40% of the UK’s local authority districts, according to the report.
