"Saaid"

According to this article at AllAfrica.com and the CNN piece cited in the Wikipedia article, "Saaid" isn't part of Abdi Farah Shiridon's name. And in this UPI article, "Saaid" is apparently a nickname.

Maybe this article should be moved to a new name. – Jwkozak91 (talk) 19:55, 18 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Saaid/Said is not a nickname (c.f. [1]). It is his great grandfather's name, with Farah being his father's name and Shirdon being his grandfather's name. Still, more sources seem to refer to him by his traditional Somali three-part name, Abdi Farah Shirdon, so that is probably what the page should be moved to per WP:COMMONNAME.
