So anyone time someone with a common name commits atrocities, no one should use that name? Obama was born 18 years before Saddam became president of Iraq and his father, the man he gets his name from, was born before Saddam was. 

We've also had many Presidents named George, the name of the tyrant king we fought against for our independence. We've had plenty of Josephs, most recently Biden, but Stalin was named that too...

It's a silly argument to make, just as silly as not having a guy named Robert Lee on the sidelines, but it's silly for a whole different reason.
