Heh, after Osama, that probably has to be one of the least fortunate names to have when living in America.

I once observed a class of English language learners where there were two little boys, one named Osama and the other Saddam. Not kidding. I usually encourage kids to keep their real names, and not get palmed off with Anglo replacements, but in that case I think “Sam” and “Danny” might be an excellent idea.
