Actually, that's an interesting point.
Jack is a form of John.
Mohammed is not actually the second most popular name.
It's way down there with only 2833 occurances.

"But wait, they've added all the different spellings together" I hear you cry.
And indeed they have:

Mohammed 2,833

Muhammad 1,422

Mohammad 920

Muhammed 358

Mohamed 354

Mohamad 29

Mahammed 18

Mohammod 13

Mahamed 12

Muhammod 9

Muhamad 7

Mohmmed 6

Mohamud 5

Mohammud 5

The thing is, they've not done the same with the other names.
Jack is a form of John, likewise with Jon, Jonny, Johnny, Jonothan, Johnathan etc.
I'd put money on that they've not done the same with Andrew, Andy, Andi, Andre, Drew etc either.
Dammit! They're flasifying the data to keep my name out of the top 20!
