Mohammed remains the most popular name for boys in three Dutch cities, according to the government authority responsible for tracking the names of newborns. Mohammad is the most popular boy’s name in Amsterdam, The Hague and Utrecht, and in Rotterdam ranks as the second most popular, after Jayden. Sara – also popular among Muslims – tops the list for girls, followed by Emma and Sophie. However, at a national level, Daan remains the most popular baby boy name, whilst Mohammed does not even reach the top 20. Among girls, Emma ranks first in the national top-20, with Sara ranking at the 14th place.
