Kilshay ib9ob oo hatha ib9ob thani! I agree with you. I don't think most of these people did something worthy to be calling an area after them. Second it's REALLY hard to remember and know the difference between the names, not only to foreigners, but locals as well. Me, for instance, think that most of the royal family members have the same names. It's like a total of 3 or 4 names and you mix them up to get all their names. Subah al ahmad. Ahmad al jaber. Jaber al subah., etc. It's annoying, and kilish mala da3ee they do that. Aham shay ina ako mantiqa isim-ha ahmad ilfahad!
