"Donald Trump Otiendo" - Kenyan Baby Named After DJT 3 Monthes Before Election

Having spent 10 years in Kenya, and that my (Please, G-d!) soon to be ex-wife is Luo, and I will be considered "Luo" by marrriage even after the divorce, I like this very much. Mostly, because Obola's supposed Father was pure Luo, and I don't believe Barack Hussein Obama, Sr. was his father for a variety of genetic reasons.

Would have hated to be the couple who named their kid Hillary, especially if the child was a boy.

The naming of Kenyan children is often entertaining - the kids are fantastic, happy and enjoy life while living in conditions most wouldn't believe. I always enjoyed visiting the small isolated rural villages.

So, in other words, you're saying that Kenyans treat naming their children like most celebrities do here in the States? Well, at least they're happy and well adjusted.

No, not celebrities. It's not easy to explain. Some will name their kids after respect for the person who is the namesake. Or a wish that the child will have qualities the parents see in the namesake. Sometimes it's blatant brown-nosing.

To use Obola's supposed father as an example - Obama is a typical Luo last name; many start with "O" - Obama, Otiendo, Otieno, Omolo, Olobo, etc. However, Barack Hussein is not a typical Luo, or East African first and middle name.

My guess is that a Muslim trader named Barack Hussein was either an employer or was kind to a predecessor of Barack Hussein Obama, Sr., and one of his family was named for the guy. Arabs were trading along the Kenyan coast and into the interior long ago. In addition, many Indians and Pakistanis were brought to Kenya to help build the Kenya Railway from Mombasa on the Indian Ocean coast to Nairobi. When the railway was done, they were just left to their own devices. Many became traders or shopkeepers in small towns and villages. Many have become fabulously wealthy over the years.
