Suitable name...many illegals add generic first or last names, I guess he chose one that suited his intelligence the best. A big "way to go" to the clerk at the photo processing center for getting the pictures to the proper authorities.

Perhaps a relative of Mr. Cukoo Butt?

Butt is a common name in Pakistan....I sat on a British Airway's flight last year from London to Islamabad with a retired Pakistani Lt. General Hamid Butt in the seat next to me. Interesting guy, ran their railroad system...

Yes. Oddly enough, I seem to remember Hindus with the last name Butt, a (regional?) variant of Bhatta. In the same way Dhatta becomes Dutt.

Evidently there are Muslim Butts as well. ;-)

Swarthyguy, could you possibly fill us in on name-meanings and so forth?
