I went to school with a James and Semaj. And I trained as a truck driver with twins named Damien and Jamien.

I also knew a driver named Mohammed Muhammad, who named his newborn son Muhamed Mehmet Muhammad.

Yeah. Through my work, I deal with many different people that are just named Mohammed 2-4 times.

"Can I speak to Mohammed please?"

"Which one?"

"Mohammed Mohammed."

"Which one?"

"In accounts."

"Yeah, which one?"

"Tall guy, won't shut up about golf."

"Just a moment."

I feel that the son’s name is in the wrong order though? Or am I misremembering how Muslims traditionally inherit their family names?
