Really hard to find official stats because not all countries require birth certificates so difficult to collate.

I suspect it largely depends on individual countries and also different 'names' for the same 'name'

For example. In many western nations i suspect John is the most popular male name.
But if you go to Brazil for example Jao may well be the most popular male name.
Those who study such things may determine that Jao is a South American equivalent of John.

See the problem ?

Similarly, as somebody already pointed out, Mohamed may be popular in some areas while Mohammad will be more popular elsewhere !

Same for those countries who either are or had close ties to the Catholic church.
Awful lot of Saints in the Catholic faith. So quite likely high numbers of Thomas; Paul; Mary; Agatha; Collette etc.

Then when you come to African nations....

@BigbangFACTS and if it's not that, it's likely an Indian or Chinese name.
I read it was Jesus or Mohammed somewhere??? 🤷‍♂️

I thought it would be "Kim" because it's gender neutral and I know a LOT of Kims so it seems prevalent to me.
Is it "Go Screw Yourself"?? I hear a lot of people call others that.
@anythingoes477 the nickname is “screw you”

A lot of people use the nickname more I believe
