We all know there's a lot of controversy about the exact translation of Altair's full name.

Inconsistency in Altair's and Umar's names[edit source]
We all know there's a lot of controversy about the exact translation of Altair's full name. So whether "Ibn-La'Ahad" is written correctly or not, it's clear the person who translated it from English (or at least I assume that's what was done), tried to get something among the lines of "Son of None/Nobody".
And while I must admit I have no clue about how Arabic names work, I'm guessing "Ibn-La'Ahad" is more of a title than what we would call a surname here in the west.
So, I just find it very odd that Umar was also "Son of None/Nobody", did everyone in his family adopt said title due to lack of a father-son relationship? And besides, I don't recall he was ever called by his full name, he was just called "Umar" in Revelations.
So... yeah, I just though I'd bring that up. And if he's called like that in the Encyclopedia (which I haven't read) or elsewhere, well I don't know, what do you guys think?
