In some cases it may be to keep a personal name less tied to a religious context. This is only done if the person has a second given name. Some men who have ''Muhammad'' (or variant) as a first name choose not to use it, as it is such a common name. Instead they use another given name. For example,

Legality and restrictions


China

In 2017 legislation made it illegal in China to give children names that the Chinese government deemed to "exaggerate religious fervor”. This prohibition included a ban on naming children Muhammad. The legislation was officially intended to prevent "religious extremism" among the country's Uighur minority, but appears to have been a possible act of persecution against the Uighur community.

The government of Pakistan forbids members of its Ahmadi community from naming their children Muhammad.
