The name may be abbreviated to ''Md.'', ''Mohd.'', ''Muhd.'', ''Mhd.'', or simply ''M.'' because of its ubiquity. Its popularity has meant that it can become hard to distinguish people. 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,
