Somalis with foreign names existed back in Somalia before the great escape to the West. One person that comes to mind is the famous General, Moragan.

Moorgan waa shimbir magaceeda oo Afsoomaaliga ku jirto, waa saa ku maqlay. Marka naaneys ayee u tahay magacaas.

 

Dad dhif dhif ayaa watay magacyada Galbeedka, kuwaas oo naaneys ahaa. Naaneysyada sida Jeemis (James) iyo Jeeri (Jerry).

What does Suusan has to do with a Reer Galbeed culture of naming? Suusan waa magac Reer Iiraan, same way Ismahaan and Sahra are both magacyada Reer Iiraan, which Soomaalideena aan isticmaalno.
