Comments for the name Hussein

I don't like it, cause it reminds me of Saddam Hussein.

Well do you not like the name Joseph because it reminds you of Josef Stalin? Or maybe you don't like the name Timothy because it reminds you of Timothy McVeigh?

I like this name. The Husseins were also a family who battled the Sauds for control over present-day Saudi Arabia in the 1910s. Barak Obama's middle name is Hussein, because his father was a Tanzanian Muslim, and he has my support.

People should cut the crap and stop claiming that this name can be compared to Joseph because of Stalin. Joseph is a very common name, and can be associated with many people. If you pick this name, people will think of Saddam Hussein, and they'll think the name is a political, creepy statement.

Barack Hussein Obama, the brilliant democratic candidate for president of the US.

There is NOTHING wrong with this name! First of all, it was Saddam's LAST name. Many Muslims still use Hussein because it's a common name, and was way before Saddam came to power. However, I'd only recommend it on a Muslim. On a non-Muslim, it will equal bullying for life.

Hussein is probably just as common name as say Joseph so people should stop connecting this name with Saddam Hussein. It's a great name.
