> Basically only religious persons names their kids Mohammed, those who quit the religion will not put the burden of that name on their kids. That might hold true for first names (even though I am not entirely sure), but when it comes to last names, it is a complete crapshoot. I changed my last name when I was 14 (entirely for unrelated reasons), but the old one I had contained a form of "Mohammed" in it. Without giving it away, I will just say that some popular MMA fighters these days have different forms of the same last name as mine used to be. My mom's side of the family is religious, but they are eastern orthodox christian. My dad's side (from which I inherited my old last name) is entirely atheist, but it just so happened that at some point in time about 4-5 generations ago, there were ancestors on his side who were religious muslims. And given that in my old country the last names of children are always automatically taken from the father (barring rare exceptions), it ended up propagating 4-5 generations down with no actually religious people in the loop at all. What makes it even more bizarre to people irl who know this is that my dad has that "blond hair blue eyes" look.
