Hussein. It should be noted that the president inherited his father's name (Barack Hussein Obama); this particular name is very common in Muslim cultures, such as Kenya, where his father was born and raised. "Hussein" has no negative meanings associated with it in those countries, while in the United States, many Americans associated it with the Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein.
