What's in a name

I wonder if any of the election districts will put Barak Obama's middle name up on the ballot or in the voting booth. Would that constitute an unfair voting practice?

Last year, back when we thought it would be a Giuliani - Clinton election, I was taking a cab, and noticed the driver's name as listed on the little posted card was Osama Hussain. Back then I wondered if the guy had a hard time walking around with a name like that, and now it seems we may get a similarly named president.
