Answer 1

In Iraq no one is save what ever name he/she is carrying. Better wait for some time to go over there. In the meantime Allah ma al Jameeah fi Iraq (God be withevery one in Iraq)

Answer 2

I don't think that this will be a big problem, after all you are an Arab, this will make it much easier for you to contact with the people there, or you can simply not use the last name and use your first name and the second one, or simply use the initials following your name, Good Luck out there.

Answer 3

Consult the british embassy for advice.
Be yourself. Do your best to show people that we are not all imperialist conquerors, but care deeply for and are trying to make a good life for the people of Iraq.

Answer 4

That's very interesting. I didn't know Arabs did that. Well, if you only need to show your passport at the airport and maybe hotel, can't you just give a different name to other people?

Answer 5

Hamid is better name.

Answer 6

Just say Abdul Hamid. Don't say alBRITANNI!!

Answer 7

Just paint the union jack/flag on your silk jacket and call yourself Tony Blair.

Answer 8

I don't know. some family in Iraq named their new-born child, George Bush, ask him.

Answer 9

Just take an orange boiler suite with you, just incase they don't have your size.

Answer 10

I don't understand. Do you want to change your name? If not, what's your question? Your name is your name.
