Lots of Muslim people (white and other colours) call at least one of their boys Mohammed - I guess we have such a massive range to choose from that it takes a lot of naming to get "our" names into the list. If most Muslim familiies had one in each generation of each family, that's a lot of Mohammeds.
Oliver was the second most common name for a baby boy, with ( it seems), almost as many entries as the twelve versions of Mohammed combined. The country will be overrun with Olivers too. What about that AOG? What kind of awful people call their child Oliver? All those huntin', shootin' and fishin' types, all Public School and 'something in the City' if not living on the trust fund. Frightens me! They'll be all over the place, with their horrible braying and cries of 'Ya!', terrifying the British working class.They keep themselves to themselves, you know, and are never truly integrated . And they don't learn our language,but have their own strange one, nor do they pronounce ours correctly, the older ones living in a 'hice' and all of them having 'a place', not a 'house'. Stop it now, before it's too late.
A Moslem boy has to be given a name with religious meaning. Mohammed is understandably conventional and particularly common among the Moslems here.

For the benefit of jno and all his ilk.
'JUST A MO' = Just a moment, also short for Mohammed.
Anyone who wishes to know what goes off in jno's mind should read the section of the link he provided.
/// So the current flap over a remark by "Bert" in June on Sesame Street's official Twitter page, in which he refers to his hairdo as more "mo" than "hawk," has taken me by surprise -- likely because the slang abbreviation for homosexual was new to me, and because I never spent much time assigning sexualities to characters whose heads move when they speak rather than their jaws.///
/// One eagle-eyed blogger, however, held up the "mo" tweet as a loosely veiled official coming-out by the yellow-headed non-human, albeit in good humor. ///
Now it is not surprising anyone 'intelligent' ?????? enough to read the Sesame Street's official Twitter page, would associate 'Mo' with homosexuality, perhaps we should now refer to it as the 'M' word in case it offends anyone.
