Osama Vinladen also revealed that his brother's name was Saddam Hussein. He also recounted that his father initially intended to name his third son George Bush, but the plan was aborted as it turned out that the child born was a daughter. Vinladen disclosed this to the Spanish newspaper Marca.

The origin of the name Osama Vinladen began with the collapse of the Twin Towers, and at that time he was born on October 7, 2002. He felt that his father was impressed by the event. "If you pay attention, my name is similar to one of the most famous terrorists in history, but with the prefix 'V'." However, it should be noted that although spelled with a 'V', in Spanish it is actually pronounced like 'B', so it sounds exactly the same as the more well-known name Osama.

"I am sure that in Peru there might be someone with a name like Hitler," said Osama Vinladen. "Although Jesus is considered the savior of the world, there is another person named Jesus who has committed evil acts." "Because someone named Osama is involved in crime, I believe there is no need for regulations that prohibit the use of that name." Vinladen chose to give his son a more common name, Santiago, even though he admitted that if the decision was in his father's hands, he would name his child George Bush."
