"What would you do if the name 'Iram' gets a bad reputation?
Also, that name is unattractive and will cause confusion.In Somali language, words that end with the letter 'm' phonetically change to 'n'. For example, 'Islaanka', 'war yaa muslin ah', 'Maryan', ‘Aadan’ and so on.
So, the name 'Iram' would be pronounced as 'Iran' in Somali phonetics. What will you do, sir? It will happen naturally.

I detest names that already have a history, such as 'Puntland', 'Somaliland', and 'Jubaland'. It is also embarrassing if they are names that are theoretically or not from our own historical point of view. It is even worse if it is a name that ties us to people who oppressed and enslaved our race.

I love new names like 'Hirshabeele' and 'Koonfur Galbeed'. I also like to invent new names and give a reason for why I choose those exact names. This new name will give us a new beginning or era.
in conclusion, if Somalia changes its name I say to her, please make a new name.
Also, iram is ugly. It does fit in the somali phonetics. It is not our historical point of view.

The current name of dadkeena is fine. All these bad stuff will be in history textbook soon. Germany, Rwanda, China has recovered from its bad image. Somalia will it too.
