It's Spreading Sava and You Can't Stop It!
BAGHDAD, Iraq — It's a fair bet that one Baghdad baby won't run into anybody else in Iraq with the same name.
An Iraqi couple has named their 6-week-old baby boy George Bush (search) to show their appreciation for U.S. efforts to force Saddam Hussein (search) out of power.
"He saved us from Saddam and that's why we named our son after him," the baby's mother, Nadia Jergis Mohammed, told the Associated Press Television News. "It was George Bush who liberated us; without him it wouldn't have happened."
Baby Bush was born July 11 to Mohammed, 34, and her husband Abdul Kader Faris, 41. His full name is George Bush Abdul Kader Faris Abed El-Hussein.
If the couple had had twin boys, the father wanted to name the other baby Tony Blair (search), because he said both the U.S. and Britain liberated Iraq.
Baby Bush has two older brothers, with the more traditional names Omar and Ali.
The tiny boy's mother told APTN that all Iraqis hated Saddam's regime, and that President Bush freed them from his dictatorship.
"If he hadn't done it the sons of Saddam would have ruled us for years," she said.
As the woman did the interview, little George Bush screamed in his crib.
The Associated Press contributed to this report
I Love it.

Maybe they really named the kid George Bush so they can things like:
"Yeah, George Bush is still breast feeding"
"George Bush wet the bed again"
"I have to burp George Bush after he eats"
"George Bush has the tinniest little...uhum"

Surely there are idiots in Iraq too.
Poor kid is going to have serious troubles with his peers.

It is odd that George Bush and Hussein would be in the same name. I really feel sorry for the kid though. I am sure that he will be made fun of in school and what if he turns out to be a leftist and doesn't like Bush? He'll be stuck with the name. Yes, you can change your name but I don't think Muslims would do that because I think they believe that that would be insulting your parents.

I don't think it is any different then being named Georgy Washington in the US, it's an honor.

It's completely different... as in more along the lines of naming your kid Saddam Hussein in the US.

So lets see, one couple in Iraq names their kid George Bush (how is that pronounced in arabic anyway?), and this proves "bushmania"? When George is 1/10 as popular as Osama, give us a call.

Old habits die hard, eh? They just take on new faces. I wonder if some of the Iraqis who named their kids Saddam are changing the names now.
