Yes this is the first thing that came to mind for me, strange name choice
Even if that was the intent, which it almost certainly isn't, why would it be strange enough to warrant discussion?
As an American who monitors world affairs, the choice of a quasi-authoritarian junta leader as a name would be quite novel.
