We don't have any authentic source to suggest that Imam Al-Sajjad had such Kenya at all. He had four Kenya's; Abul Hasan, Abul Husain, Abu Muhammad and Abu Abdillah.

Son . Imam al-Hasan . Sunni-Shi'a . Kunya
What is the counterargument to Sunni claims that Imam Hassan's son, Abdullah, had the Kunya Abubakr and so shares a name with their caliph Abu Bakr, implying a significant connection rather than mere coincidence?

First of all, we should understand that names like Abu Bakr , Omar, Othman etc wee never confined to the three rulers who ruled over the Muslims as a result to Saqeefa conspiracy which was totally rejected by Ahlul Bayt (AS). Such names were used by hundreds of other Muslims who had nothing to do with Saqeefa group. Using a common name can never a connection  with one or more persons who shared the same name or Kenya. Ahlul Bayt (AS) have clearly explained the wrong actions of Saqeefa group in many authentic statements like Shaqshaqiyyah sermon by Ameerul Mo'mineen (AS) and many other authentic narrations from the Twelve Imams. There is no doubt that pious divine leadership of Ahlul Bayt can never compromise with wrong doers under any circumstance. The treaty between Imam Hasan (AS) and Mo'awiyah was the only way to save Islam from the evil of Mo'awiyah but was never justifying the wrong.

Wassalam.
