Choosing a good name for the child is one of the baby’s rights upon his parents.
Ibn Umar, r.a. said: Prophet, s.a.w, said: “The most beloved names for Allah are Abdullah and Abdur-Rahman” [Muslim].
Bad names should be changed to good names.
Ibn-Umar reported that Umar had a daughter who was called ‘Asiya (Disobedient). Allah’s Messenger gave her the name of Jamila (good and handsome). [Muslim.]
Parents should be careful not to give their children names that will make them a mockery with their friends and will prevent them from playing in a group.
