Both your links are about children being detained at airports because their names match those on security lists. The first happens to be a Muslim name. Yes it's ridiculous - I'm not defending it - but his name was the same as a deported man who was not allowed to enter the country again. That's just bad luck. Unless your friend also has a Muslim surname I'm pretty sure her child won't have the same bad luck. Then again I worked with a woman who called her daughter Rosemary. Lovely name. Her surname was West - I'm no longer in contact with her, but she probably regrets the name slightly now. Just bad luck.
