Some might consider this an omen

It's that time of year folks; time for the year end news. There are the year in review sections, the year end quizzes and, in Britain at least, the year end rankings of babies names.

First the mundane.

The number one boy's name remains "Jack". (Jack? I always thought it was a nickname for John.)

The number one girl's name is now Olivia, overtaking Jessica whose reign only lasted one year.

Now for the omen.

With George Bush's popularity sinking ever lower everyday in the states the evidence of disapproval here is more subtle. Mohammed has overtaken George in this year's rankings coming in at 22nd.
