Sorry that should be for boys obv.

Oops.

I wouldn't know what you meant!

I have no idea tbh what names are popular or would be easily recognised etc in probably most of Asia. And much of Africa as well.

What is it you are looking for?

I think the most popular name in the world is Mohammed not sure about girls though.
