Oliver and Olivia have been crowned the most popular baby names in England and Wales for the second year running. Oliver has been the most popular boys' name since 2013 while Olivia replaced Amelia in top place in 2016.

So Oliver was the most popular name in England and Wales, but you only focused on London, why is that? Especially as the article is orientated around the UK as apposed to London?

It's Islamic tradition to name your firstborn son Mohammed, so, not overly surprising tbh
