Dubai's 'Mohammeds' smash record

By Julia Wheeler
BBC News, Dubai


The record for the largest gathering of people sharing the same name has been broken in the Gulf city of Dubai.

It is one of five world records the city is trying to break during its annual month-long shopping festival.

The previous record for a same-name gathering was created by 375 "Marias" in Spain in 2003.

This time, it was the men who were invited, specifically men with arguably the most popular name in the Muslim world, Mohammed.
