Now that this "hobby" of name interest has become more of an active activity, my friends, family and coworkers have been tagging me in all sorts of name-related news articles. Some of these are just fun to read, while others spark debate - what does it mean when the popularity of Mohammed (and it's alternate spellings) aren't advertised in name news?
