imma be so annoying nitpicky here but i think Hamal works slightly better than Ahmal. If you pronounce Ahmal the american way it probably works but in arabic you really stress the H so it doesn’t sound at all like “‘em all”. Ha-mal / ‘em-all will rhyme nicely by Ah-mal and ‘em all won’t, the H is simply too powerful and pronounced

To be fair, I didn't get the joke till I read his comment specifically because of what he said. I was stressing the h in my head.
