...since, I assume, his name is normally written in Arabic, the 'e' or 'a' would seem to be a matter of choice- they're both pronounced the same in English.
And anyway, 'Husseyin' might be a better transliteration.......and lead to a more accurate pronunciation.

I hate those people who have a Christian name for a surname, like Alun Michael.
Alun Michael WHAT?
I blame the parents..........

A little bit hard to avoid ain't it

If your surname were Allan

Isn't that trend taken from Macho Movie Stars like Kirk Douglas etc

The real pain in the ass are the idiot parents who have umpteen middle names...whats the point?...think the record is about 118 somewhere in India

Filling out forms must be a nightmare

I suppose it's overexposure to stand-ups who say 'don't you just hate.......'?
They (and I) are probably putting it a bit too strongly.
On the other hand, here is a list of the things I really DO hate:
