1. “Jean” (Johannes de doper)
2. “Marc” (evangelie volgens Markus)
3. “Patrick” (Heilige Patrick, bekeerde Ierland tot het Christendom in de 4e eeuw.)
4. “Luc” (evangelie volgens Lucas)
5. “Michel” (aartsengel Michaël)
De 5 huidige meest voorkomende mannen namen zijn allemaal christelijk geïnspireerd.
I don’t like extremely common names. At least be weird and call your child Eiffel.
The rest of the top 10 is all Philip, Jean and David tho’.
I didn’t know that Mohammed was a race.
Gek genoeg, ik ken weinig mensen met de naam Mohammed in Genk, zelf in mijn familie is er geen die Mohammed heet.
Mehmet, most common Turkish name is also shortened version of Muhammet (in Turkish). They probably were not aware when they did put Mohamed names together, so number is probably higher.
And still no key chains!
Lol, how did that journalist manage to completely misunderstand the numbers. Those are not newborns, but names of total population. I was confused for a bit why Marc, Jean and Jan made such a comeback in Flanders.
Edit: oh, I just clicked on some other articles on that site, not really high quality journalism.

Mohamed? Or Mohammed? Or Mohamad? Of Mohammad? Of Muhammed?
Yeh not like 50% of “native” (can’t believe I’m using this word) flemish people have a name that’s based in christianity.
Mohamed is the Kevin of the future.
Absolute dogshite site looking at the quality of some of their other articles. Definite bias.
Who cares besides “white genocide” nutcases?
~24% of all people living in Brussels are Muslim. It’s a common thing to name at least one of your sons to the prophet out of respect.
My sympathies go out to all the teachers in Brussels who’ll have to find new ways to refer to all these kids.
