Lebanonese fanaticism. I was just thinking about this. In Lebanon, some Lebanonese parents name their sons--only sons--Lubnan (Lebanon). This is quite unusual, I was thinking. Who else in the world name their kids after the country's name. I mean, there is a high degree of patriotism in the US, but I have never met an American named "USA" or "America." I also have never met a French person named "France". Do you know people named "Sudan" or "Micronesia" or "Algeria" or "Saudi Arabia" or "Qatar"? Did you get the point, or shall I continue listing countries?
