The name Omar like mine is just a male given name, coincidentally the name of the second Islamic caliph and companion of our beloved prophet. In fact, I understand 'Omar bin al-Khattab' had his name even before embracing Islam.
So, just because someone is so named Omar doesn't mean he is a Muslim. You can be called Bruce Mendes and still be a Muslim. Islam doesn't necessarily have to play a part in everything an Omar is held responsible for. Your name is what you make it.
