Is there any problem with my name???

I have not heard of anyone having this issue, seems morally wrong to decline someone's application primarily due to his name. The closest experience I have had to this which could settle you is that I have two work colleagues with the names Mohammed Ali and Mohamed Ali and they work in Kuwait but travel to Bahrain for work as well and had no trouble (as far as I am aware) with getting a visa. Are you coming on a visit visa for a short period??

If you have an overtly Jewish name, you may be declined. I've heard of this happening.

Surely your name does not reflect what religion you are though??

Enlighten me please.

OL1 is right... The name doesn't reflect anything.

we have heard of some cases but it could have been the name or the issue with the employer as well. Let your employer try to apply for a visa, if (god forbid) issues arise i am sure it can be fixed with a valid explanation given to the concerned authorities by your employer.

Good luck

For given names, you may be right. But add a family name and it definitely reflects.
