I do not know any Shia from any part of world who would keep their sons name Abu Bakr, Umar, or Uthman today because today it is only the personalities of the khulafa that comes to mind when these names are taken.

[quote=“Ibn_Sadique, post:34, topic:260236”]

If the names Abu Bakr, Umar and Uthman were good enough for your infallible Imams to name their sons with then why is so abhorrent for Shias.

This shows that Shias don’t follow the deeds of their ‘infallible Imams’ but whims of later day ayatullahs. /QUOTE]

Abu Bakr being the first name is one thing, I sat in a taxi in Indonesia and the driver name badge read Osman bin Affan (literal meaning, Osman son of Affan). I asked if this was his name. He said yes he was named this because this was a famous Islamic personality. Classic case of being lost in translation.

That taxi driver is not an Arab – so his dad’s intent was to name his in honour of a particular person not any Uthman.

There is a warlord named Hazrat Ali in Afghanistan. (he’s not a shia) Check the link.
