That means my children will be Eunice Lynn and Salil Franklin.
I'm not sure if I like that or not.

It's certainly distinctive. "Osama" has some unfortunate connotations, though.

Well, the first thing anyone in the USA thinks of when they hear "Osama" is "scary terrorist guy who talked a bunch of guys into flying airliners into buildings."

Yes, but ... People stopped naming their kids "Adolph" after World War II. Perfectly good name, it just made folks think of a creepy racist with a stupid-looking mustache.

Uh ... no. What did I just say?

Damn. Well...Osama will get him picked on. I like Ekundayo.

Uh...weeeeell...I'd stay away from anything that sounds Muslim. Especially that one and Osama.

Americans are very anti-Muslim. Anyone named Muhammed is automatically a terrorist even if they were US born. Also, Americans are stupid.

Oh good!
