The problem with this analysis is that it fuels the " Muslims are taking over" nonsense that far too many people fall for. If you look at the top 100 boys names on the ONS there are 3 obviously muslim names all variants of Mohammed and they account for 7k of the 203k total births represented by the top 100. I think form this it's safe to conclude that Muslims have an obsession with naming their children after a semi mythical middle eastern prophet.

My nephew Mike is 18 this year.

Yes, but he said Mick.

Also, I think we can assume that the OP is talking about kids, as in babies.
