well except for teh common abdul mohammed thats walking around.

That's not even a name. It means worshipping the prophet instead of god.
Though I see what you mean... ;)

abdul mohammed can be and is a very common name...dont believe me, type it into google.

edit: oh and as far as meaning...abdul means servant and muhammed means praise, so i dont know if you have a differnet interpretation

Yup, you're right.
