Michael Korovkin Feb 8, 2009: И я балдею при таких словах: Grengo Abdel Cader Omar Salah!!! [а не Sallah ли? with two l's...]
Dylan Edwards Feb 8, 2009: "Omar Salah" looks convincing. "Abdel Qader" is a possibility. These look like two separate names. As for "Grengo", I agree with Gary. Isn't it part of someone else's name?
GaryG Feb 8, 2009: Grengo "Grengo" doesn't sound like an Arab name. An American's (and Google's) first reaction to the word would probably be "gringo?" (the Mexican word for an American). And five names seems too much for an Arabic name without patronynic forms (e.g. bin Abdelazid).
Michael Moskowitz Feb 8, 2009: Правильно will only work out if you can spell it out in Arabic (likely that's the origin). Any other language will only be another crude phonetic transcription. So Grengo Abdel Cader Omar Salah will work just as well.

Grengo Abdel Cader Omar Salah

As I said, a crude attempt

Peer comment(s):

agree	Serge Driamov : Только последнее слово я бы написал так: Дело в том, что буква "х" в русских именах часто передается на английском как "kh". Пример: переводчик Юрий Соха, профайл на ПроЗ-е: http://www.proz.com/profile/724687 1 hr
	Thanks, but I think they only spelled it in Russian with "x" due to the absence of the sound of "h"
agree	Michael Korovkin : и я балдею при таких словах: Grengo Abdel Cader Omar Salah!!! 10 hrs
