سيد or سعيد are not religious names.<p>The former means &quot;Lord&quot; or &quot;Master&quot; and the latter means &quot;Happy&quot; or &quot;Gay&quot;. They&#x27;re perfectly secular names.<p>The religious names are Mohammad&#x27;s aliases plus the Big Four figures in Sunni Islam and the other big figures in Shiite Islam.<p>Other than these, the rest are non Islamic names. If some low level Mohammad&#x27;s companion was called سعيد, this doesn&#x27;t change the fact that it&#x27;s a secular name.<p>To be honest with you, the whole thing looks so ridiculous because ( عمر Omar, فاطمة Fatima ) are considered religious but some Latinos are called Omar or Fatima. Maybe we should drop the whole thing.<p>&gt; Today there&#x27;s a real chance the next French President comes from the FN.<p>Let them have this experiment. If they&#x27;re so bigoted and extreme to their own detriment, I wouldn&#x27;t stop them. Let them learn by experience not to be guided by fear or populist demagoguery.
