People are freaking out about Mohamed being the most popular baby name in certain western cities. Ironically, Amelia is the one for girls. That said, I sometimes wonder if we're programmed. When my son was born in 2009 we had the idea to name him Noah (wife liked that), Liam (a play on a tradition of William which has been passed down to first males over generations), or Aiden. A Pinoy/Japanese family friends of ours chose Liam before us (WTF?!), and Aiden won out for alliteration with his sister. Cut to school and every class has 3 Aiden's. Where'd they come from? No idea. And Noah and Liam are still in the top names... Really. I swear, we were subjected to subconscious programming. Maybe the Mohammed/Amelia thing is, too.
